Party switching – the new post solstice sport?

Posted by waltm, on February 1st, 2011, at 11:54 am

Covington County has seen nine elected office holders switch while an equally big get was the switch of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff.

The Covington County switchers did sign a brief profession:

“I hereby declare that I am a sitting elected official and that I am switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.

“I endorse and will actively support the principles of the Republican Party, including (but not all inclusive) pro-life, pro-family, pro-free enterprise strong defense and less intrusive government.”

Edit: fix thinko that resembled a Old English word we don’t use in public.
