Dave Berri at Freakonomics uses a Seinfeld phrase on politics: "rooting for clothes". The idea is that Cleveland sports fans loved LeBron until he moved, Redskins fans haded Deon Sanders until he switched from Dallas to the Skins, etc. etc.
We can also apply the idea to politics, since in many cases the parties switch positions depending on whether they're in power or not.
