Former Congressman Artur Davis Switches Parties


May 30, 2012 by

Former Alabama Congressman and unsuccessful 2010 candidate for Governor Artur Davis has announced that he is switching parties and may run for Congress from Virginia, where he now resides.

Davis was a rising star in the Democratic party and a leader in the Blue Dog coalition. He lost the 2010 primary after being attacked as too conservative.

Although I generally find a wide range of views on the site, it seems the “tolerant of dissenting views” gang at the Huffington Post isn’t too pleased.

    Oh. Like TMV maybe we shouldn’t hold the Huffington Post responsible for the commentors, just the authors.

    I suspect Daily Kos comments would be even more distressing. Maybe we will get a chance to see.

    Yep.

    Yes there’s plenty of competition in idiotic comments between Fox and DailyKos.

    Anyway I think it’s too bad he’s switching parties. Both the GOP and Democrats are too partisan and could use as many moderating influences as possible.

    DaGoat. yes we could use as many moderating influences as possible, but I think that train has left the station. As more and more people find nothing getting done and when it does get done, it is way off the scale on one end or the other, this just makes people who are afraid of the direction of this country is going become much more set in their ways and demanding of legislators to stand their ground and not compromise.
