He already did, actually. Ex-Republican who switched to the Democrats days before filing to run for mayor. Gave money to George W. Bush and Billy Tauzin.
But I don't want him on my side. He's every bit as incompetent (and out of his depth) as Blanco.
I'm not a Republican, so his party affiliation wouldn't put him on *my* side anyway. Yes, I understand your position, but... He prolly figured there was no way the good people of Norlins would have elected a Republican, so jumping on to the donk plantation was the only way he'd get into office there.
As far as the question of depth... there certainly seems to be a need to be deep in something to be in office in LA. The man needs to climb out that slime. It is the least he can do for his constituents at this point.
I suppose he could have used all of the buses in the city and ditched his population on the border of his jurisdiction, telling them to walk across the line, but beyond that, physically evacuating people in his city would have required Blanco and/or the state's legislators to do more than just put all kinds of power in her hands.
Anyway, I think his political career is dead, so if he switched parties, it would free him up to spill everything he knows about the graft & corruption going on in that state, which is why I think an attempt should be made to lure him off of the plantation.
