Artur Davis Switches to GOP

[Bolo Boffin]

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/former-dem-rep-artur-davis-officially-switches-to is the Talking Points Memo link, which quotes his website:

While I’ve gone to great lengths to keep this website a forum for ideas, and not a personal forum, I should say something about the various stories regarding my political future in Virginia, the state that has been my primary home since late December 2010. The short of it is this: I don’t know and am nowhere near deciding. If I were to run, it would be as a Republican. And I am in the process of changing my voter registration from Alabama to Virginia, a development which likely does represent a closing of one chapter and perhaps the opening of another.

As to the horse-race question that animated parts of the blogosphere, it is true that people whose judgment I value have asked me to weigh the prospect of running in one of the Northern Virginia congressional districts in 2014 or 2016, or alternatively, for a seat in the Virginia legislature in 2015. If that sounds imprecise, it’s a function of how uncertain political opportunities can be—and if that sounds expedient, never lose sight of the fact that politics is not wishfulness, it’s the execution of a long, draining process to win votes and help and relationships while your adversaries are working just as hard to tear down the ground you build.

Didn't he do this back a couple of years ago? My bad.

Of course, he appears to be Virginia's problem now.

2. I don't think Artur Davis could win in a Northern Virginia congressional district.

I certainly hope not!!
