Democrats Win the Legislature

In the Senate, Sam Kitzenberg has jumped ship and will be switching party affiliations to Democrat. In the House, the Laurel race that is currently tied will likely result in Democratic victory, unless a recount throws it to the Republican (ties go to the Governor).

Unsurprisingly, Corey Stapleton is saying that the people of Glasgow are mighty upset with Senator Kitzenberg. Of course, Kitzenberg staved off a primary challenge from the right and says himself that his constituents told him to do what he thinks is best.

This is like when Jeffords jumped ship. Republicans were howling that Vermonters would hate the decision. By all accounts, Vermonters were fine with it. The reality is, most people really don't want the level of partisanship were the letter behind the name is that significant. It's a political reality these days that the letter and the leadership matter, but that's not what the constituents want virtually anywhere.
