Republicans are stepping up their efforts to persuade more House Democrats to
switch parties and are zeroing in on a second-term Pennsylvanian who
acknowledged the efforts but said he has "no plans" to do so.
Democratic Rep. Chris Carney received a phone call Wednesday from Sen. John
McCain (R-Ariz.) asking him to consider becoming a Republican, a top GOP
official told POLITICO. ( ANOTHER DEM MAY
BOLT PARTY... )
Carney's office at first did not comment other than to acknowledge the call,
but Carney released a statement Wednesday night saying, in part, "I
appreciate the Republican Party's outreach, but I have no plans to change
parties.
(I have come to the conclusion if you are pro family, pro life, and want lower or less taxes you no longer have a seat at the table if you are part of Democratic party.)
