Brock isn't an isolated example.

I can rattle off the names of several dozen former conservatives-or individuals who were largely apolitical, but inclined towards conservatism-who for one reason or another embraced the left.

-David Stockman

-Glen Loury

-Garry Wills

-Kevin Phillips

-Betsy McCaughey Ross

-Congressman Michael P. Forbes

-Paul Craig Roberts

-Michael Lind

-Kevin Phillips

And to a lesser extent, Stephen Carter.

The reason you don't hear as much about them is because, with a few notable exceptions-such as Garry Wills-most of these folks experience their political awakening when their careers are on a downward trajectory.
