In Texas, a conservative Democrate is not an oxymoron; in fact its commonplace. He had no need to switch.

Sorry to take you to task for your remark, but you're dead wrong. I'm a Texan and would probably have better luck finding an albino armadillo tomorrow than a conservative democrat in Texas. I suppose Charlie Stenholm is one of the last "conservative" dems, but the rest are liberal as hell (and worthless).

I think he sees the handwriting on the wall. The RATS are going to get bitch slapped big time in Nov. Watch for more conservative Democrats defecting, especially in the south. If Dean gets the RAT nomination, I believe most of the conservatives left will jump ship.
