who represents the majority view of a district than the elected representative has the responsibility to represent that view.

With this in mind, I wonder what you think of Senator Jim Jeffords. You know, the guy that single handedly gave the majority in the Senate to the Dems. Did he carry out his responsibility (in your view) to his district?

Brian, first he was a N.E. Rep.......which means he was a moderate or liberal [sorry to use that term] Rep. That translates into a conservative Dem.

As for whether he carried out his responsibility, only his constituency can determine that.......I don't know enough of his politics nor the politics of his constituency to make that determination. But its a good example.....has he run for reelection yet? If he gets voted out, it will be no surprise to him. He knew full well the risk he took when he switched. Did you read his letter to his constituency? If not, its well worth the effort in my view.
