I don't know enough about American political history (Pat Buchanan's cue) to discuss the significance - or insignificance - of party switching but it is rather interesting to see these facts.
People switch parties for all sorts of reasons and motives so I'm taking this at face value.
Since the 1960s, a switch from Democrat to Republican happened 214 times while the switch from GOP to Democrat was 81. Since Obama took office, nine politicians crossed over to the Democrats.
Meanwhile, 49 (and counting) went the other way in his four years.
I count 49 switched from Bush during his eight years - two terms - as President.
