Prominent Dem Defects to GOP
 
What do you folks on the left make of this?

"Nardelli matches the profile of voters who have at times given the President heartburn: culturally conservative, working class and somewhat rural – aka Reagan Democrats.:

"She asserted, like the party-switching Ronald Reagan in 1962, that the Democratic Party had strayed from values with which she could agree."

From my perspective, it appeaers that some Dems are realizing that their party continues to move to the left, further away from the mainstream. It also is worth noting that polling suggests that Obama's popularity is slipping among women voters, as reported today by ABC news.

It sounds to me like she failed to remake the party in her own image. She is of a generation whose views are giving way to a more accepting society. Hard for me to mourn too much the loss of a Blue Dog.

We elect people who make decisions based on such things?

"citing her Catholic faith and President Obama’s embrace of gay marriage as reasons."



That is a very sad commentary on our country.

I know Altoona and Blair County very well, as it the birthplace of my father and pretty much everyone on his side of the family. I'm actually surprised to hear that there even was a Democratic politician there. It's an interesting place to visit, as it's kinda like going through a 50 year time warp back to the late '50's.

Take a look at your own party...if you cannot see what the Tea Party is doing it then you must be out of touch. As far as women going over to Romney dream on....

It's not pertinent? My, my, my. I guess when you can't see the forest for the trees he goes chronically into baseless allegations. Cute Whelly.:p
