On a local blog, Rigell responded by saying that, “The only alternative on the Democratic side was Senator Obama. Yes, I was moved by his rhetoric and by the prospect of seeing a minority rise to the highest office in our land. If we were to end up with a Democrat President I wanted that person to be Obama, not Clinton; I was not indifferent to the two possible outcomes.”

Okay, you lost me -- if you're a Republican, what difference does it make, what do you care about the *Democrat alternative*??

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't a woman be considered a "minority rise to the highest office"? (Quoting him, pardon the poor grammar here). 0bama considered a minority, but isn't Hillary Clinton also?? Not buying it, this guy is a typical *say/do whatever it takes to win office* politician -- he's reminding me of many pols who claimed to be Republican in order to ride Reagan's coattails back in 1980 -- Specter, anyone?

I was moved by his rhetoric and by the prospect of seeing a minority rise to the highest office in our land.

Rigell, you stupid POS -- DID YOU NOT PAY ATTENTION TO HIS IDEOLOGY?????????????????
