jon: let s get back to our panel, once again, chip salzman is with us, jenna and i combined our lunch money, bought a little more satellite time, chip is with us, charlie, and kirst well. while you were away from us, chip, we asked a question about whether some of the members of congress who do get reelected might think about switching parties. obviously, in the house, if republicans take over, it s much better to be a republican. would there be some blue dog democrats who might switch? that s the question i believe from jd, is it possible that independents or others might align themselves with the republican party? chip, what do you stph-pbg. i think so. if you look at blue dog democrats especially in the south and midwest who really had no home with president obama and speaker pelosi, i think they will consider switching parties.
