From Conservatism With Heart:

The big story this past week in Missouri Politics is that Republican Senator Chris Koster has switched to the Democrat party. As I’ve read numerous articles and posts on the subject one has to conclude that its pretty obvious why Koster switched parties, and it doesn’t appear to be based on principle, but upon the lust for power.
