Interesting article I found on Crooks and Liars.

[texas1928]

it is from The American Prospect.

Why former Republicans in Kansas and elsewhere are deciding to run as Democrats.

What’s the matter with Kansas Republicans? In a state where Bush captured over 60 percent of the vote in 2004, a tiny revolution is taking place, with more and more Republicans running as Democrats in state elections. Its ripples may be spreading throughout the country.

1. I dont think its as great a thing as C&L make it out to be.

Number one, they are still republican pigs whether they switch to Dems or not. Second, now the Dems in govt will be moving more towards the right. Third, republicans who switch will now be taking advantage of the fact that no one trusts Repugs anymore and will still find ways to make it into office without having to face consequences for being enablers of this administration.

2. I too think this is scary

How can they run as Dems?
Who would really believe they wouldn't return to the usual Repub crap once elected?
Sounds like a smart way for the Repubs to stay in control.
No way should they be allowed to run as Dems.

3. Yeah, I think this is a really BAD idea.

I'm afraid this is another one of Rove's covert plans to get Rs elected in areas where they have a less-than-stellar chance of winning.

I just don't trust any of these guys.
