Lawrence Davis, a former state Democratic Party chairman from Raleigh, has switched his registration to the Republican Party.

I know this man personally and have always wondered why he was a Democrat. He is a fine, Christian man. In other words, you would never know he was a Democrat.
He ran for the US House but lost in the Democrat primary last election. I would hope he would run as a Republican next time.
Perhaps there is no other issue in America as decisive the Lottery; it breaks families apart, forces best friends to be enemies and inspires people to change their party affiliation.
"Davis, 67, said he switched his registration in February and had not intended to make a big deal about it."
Welcome aboard, Mr. Davis.
Yes, that would be nice. I'm sure he feels much better now!
Oh and I forgot Howard Dean's endless bizarre behaviors. Yeah, I'm super-optimistic for the democrat party.
If this was in reverse it would be front page on every leftist rag in the country!
Yep - but I think more and more democrats will wake up to what their party has become and cross over. I think a lot of people look at what the democratic party stands for and find it scary.
