Well... at least she finally stopped lying/pretending about being a Democrat, if absolutely nothing else. I'd bet her decision to do this was strongly encouraged by her GQP colleagues behind the scenes, though, especially given the timing of it. If they managed to convince Joe Manchin to do the same thing, it'd fuck up a whole lot (well, not for them, but for everyone else). I mean, just having those two as "Democrats" was already fucking up a whole lot. Her/them leaving the party just makes/would make it official, is all.
