In the last 15 years or so, there have a been a number of Democratic members of Congress, and at least one Senator, who has switched parties. I imagine that Jeffords will become an independent to minimize voter backlash. I am not sure that being an independent in Vermont is going to hurt him much. Also, he is 67 and was just reelected last year to a new six year term, so he may not be all that concerned about getting reelected again. Maybe doing the right thing actually matters to him more.
