Will Collier has the blogscoop:
I’m hearing this morning that Parker Griffith (D-AL) will announce that he’s switching parties as soon as this afternoon. That north Alabama seat has been Democratic since time immemorial.

UPDATE: I should have known the info was solid — Will has family in AL5.

Maybe that’s part of the Democrat’s plan–thrust power back on to the Republicans before they’ve done the house cleaning they need to do to take the reins again.
No sweat;
Just change the rules
to prevent changing
parties, or voting
against one’s party.
Sort of like Charles Laughton’s
