Opportunist (Opportunism)
* a political style of aiming to increase one's political influence at almost any price, or a political style which involves seizing every and any opportunity to extend one's political influence, whenever such opportunities arise.
* the practice of abandoning in reality some important political principles that were previously held, in the process of trying to increase one's political power and influence.
* a trend of thought, or a political tendency, seeking to make political capital out of situations with the main aim being that of gaining more influence or support, instead of truly winning people over to a principled position or improving their political understanding.
DFL ... IP ... MOP PAC ... who's next?
Update:Sometimes you just have to make your own opportunities for opportunism (from the comments):
This story is exciting to me because the Mayor of Maplewood contacted us, not the other way around. It is our understanding that another elected official is going to join us also.
