According to some reports on the radio, Morrison switched parties so that he had a better chance of getting to the general election. It seems that for the primaries only the wing nuts with issues come out for the votes and the moderates wait for the generals. If you are even half way close to being a moderate and you want to run against a nut like Kline, going dem was a smart thing to do. Of course, people will be scratching their heads in KS but they have elected a dem gov and at least one dem rep so the fellow has a good shot at making his mark in the election.
However, just as Dkos has become more and more “conservative” it is possible that the dems will likely tinge that way if the overflow of “moderates” comes into our party. And this country is already so far right it veers into fascism. What is a progressive to do?
