gao re:"Oh, you are still sticking witht he Jeffords is a good man story?" Jeffords being a good man has nothing to do with your question. You were suggesting some sort of conspiracy and from that and some of your other posts, I conclude you're the type of guy who see's a gunman on every grassy knoll, a commie under every rock, and a Clinton rape victim in every motel room. re: Jeffords.....I am enjoying the result of his switch tremendously regardless of the reason which I suspect is simply political self preservation....all politicians love their jobs and will do most anything (including switching parties) to keep them. I don't recall such a huge reaction however when Strom Thurmund, Phil Gramm, and Shelby switched to the connie side.

Jeffords spent 27 years as an unknown in government. It has been bantied about that a shift in Senate power would take place if Senator Strom Thurmond slipped into the Hereafter. Jeffords won his race with Strom's demise and will be branded as an ass in history.

Thanks for the post gao seng....As usual, Mr. Buckley makes interesting observations, and certainly raises some questions....."Why now"....? What is his payoff...? Mr. Buckley is indeed correct...after 27 years, one would think he would have made his decision long before now...if indeed he were an honest and ethical man. So again, what is his payoff now....?
