I do still think it is slightly reprehensible that someone raises money for and elects an individual to speak for them in government, possibly because of the party they are in, and then that person changes.

Don't get me wrong, I ain't going to lose any sleep over it, in fact I'm more than likely to celebrate, it just strikes me as a bit cheeky to the poor old voter. It's as if the voters of his state never got a Republican to vote for (is there only one person per party per state? - I'm not that sure about the American electorial system).

I do see your point.....but I'm still tickled! How many reps you get per state is determined by the population. As Vermont is a very small state I'd guess they only get a few!
