Garrison Keillor is deeply saddened (not to mention Tom Daschle...) Garrison Keillor is deeply saddened (not to mention Tom Daschle...)This was very courageous of Kelly. The liberals don't like him because he backed Coleman for senate (because Coleman backed him for mayor) and has a tough re-election ahead against the just-retired (black) chief of police (Corkie Finney), who's a liberal democrat. I figured he'd start leaning a bit to the left to counter his probable mayoral opponent, but here he does just the OPPOSITE! Man, I'm impressed.
WOW!

That took a lot of courage on Mayor Kelly's part. Hopefully, he'll switch parties and seek statewide office in 2006.

I saw on the news he said he saw recently an "I hate Bush" bumper sticker. He called it pathetic, last straw.
The mayor of Westminister, CA changed her party from Democrat to Republican.
This is hometown to many proud Vietnamese-Americans, who are majority Republicans.
This woman mayor said dems aren't the same party as when she joined 54 years ago.
