Republican or Democrat? Switching parties after election is false advertising!

I have been thinking a lot about effects and consequences when an elected official switches parties...certainly brought to light after the Arlen Specter event recently. I believe that many people vote for candidates based on their party affiliation, and if a candidate switches parties after being elected, couldn't that be construed as a betrayal to the voters? Or false advertising?

It seems like the voters should at least have an opportunity to elect someone else, or confirm that person again after switching. I don't think it is fair, or representative of the voters' wishes if someone changes parties after being elected without the voters having some validation.

Totally Unrelated to Real Estate...Jazz and iTunes

One of my hobbies and loves is jazz. I learned much about the players and the musical relationships they have and had by reading the "liner notes" on the backs or sleeves of record albums. Many of you may not even know what "records" are because of your age...However there were liner notes in most CDs as well. With the proliferation of iTunes and other music download sites, the learning about musicians and who they play with and what instruments they play, and who did the arrangements, etc, has died. I cannot tell you how much information I learned and retained from those notes.

I think that iTunes should have a function that allows the downloading of the liner notes from recordings...it seems like something that would be easy to do. I would even pay more for that, just to have the information. Anyone out there have a connection to Apple? I think they are missing the boat on this one. They let you download the album artwork, but they need to include the liner notes. What do you think?
