He was a Dem in 2008 and then changed parties. Can’t remember th reason given. I’ve seen him on tv. Seems like a good guy.
He opposed Obamacare and was disowned by the black "leadership" and the rat party. He then ran for governor of Alabama and went down in flames because of it. He is not overly conservative but he seems to be honest and to place country over race and party (which is to rats like garlic to a vampire) - I can live with a guy like that. He may be Obama's worst nightmare in the coming months.
Artur Davis was a four-term black Democrat Congressman from Alabama; he supported Barack Obama in 2008. In 2010, he was defeated by a Republican.
Whereupon, Davis went public with the charge that Democrats routinely cheated to win elections -- offering fine detail as to their methodology.
In 2012, he switched to the Republican party and moved to Virginia.
I'd venture the notion that he's legitimate.
