I think Bush made a HUGE mistake by snubbing Jeffords. No doubt about it. Bush underestimated the Jeffords' ego.

But Jeffords has been an independent type for a long time....I find it odd that after so many years in Congress Jeffords "suddenly" feels the need to change parties. I don't see him as a patriot....he could have been a patriot years ago if being a Republican was so repulsive.

I think Jeffords saw his change to an Independent as a way to make a name for himself: a name that he never made for himself based on Congressional service....afterall, I'm not from Vermont and 2 weeks ago I'd never heard of him, but I now know who Jeffords is.

And, yes, Vermonters voted him in, and he should stay in the Senate. I fully respect the decision of the voters.
