We've been interested in the number of Democrats who've been quietly moving away from the Democrat machine.
Now it looks like we have a little Democrat Tea Party situation in Texas. Roll Call writes that a Bill Clinton/Barack Obama favorite has gone down in Texas:
O’Rourke’s bid was boosted by a Texas-based super PAC, the Campaign for Primary Accountability, which invested heavily in two House contests in the Lone Star State. In the other race where the PAC spent money, the 4th district GOP primary, 16-term Rep. Ralph Hall won easily.
Reyes was not surprised. Acknowledging the tough primary, his campaign spent more than $460,000 and both sought and secured the endorsements of Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, who has had a decent record of backing winners in Democratic House primaries this cycle. Clinton campaigned for Reyes at a rally in El Paso last month.Reyes was one of the top ten most liberal members of the Texas delegation. This is a Democrat district which Reyes' opponent will easily win; this makes Reyes' defeat more astonishing and bitter.
It would appear that Democrat voters weren't too happy with the trend of liberals in their party; thus, the boot.
Hoosierman has written about a Pennsylvania Democrat and her husband who've left the Democrat party.
Artur Davis has left the Democrat party.
We've noted that there seems to be some sort of trend going on here.
Like Hoosierman said, probably nothing for Obama to worry about.
Move along. UPDATE:
