Following Specter, Two More Republicans to Leave the GOP?
It’s just a rumor at the moment, fueled by the abuse the Republican Party is showering on two of its biggest names, Michael Steele and Jon Huntsman. But this rumor will grow. Huntsman evidently isn’t conservative enough, and the RNC doesn’t want to trust Steele with its money. So why wouldn’t they defect to the Democratic Party?

2. Yea, but wouldn't getting the chairman of the RNC be a helluva coup?
How could you not love that? I think it's unlikely, but it would a real psychological blow to the Republicans if it happened.

5. It doesn't matter.
Just the fact the the chairman of their party switched over to the Democrats would be enough. Not that I think for a second that it will ever happen.
