such a smart guy - and a democrat at that

If he's such a smart guy, why on earth is he a democrat?

I suspect it has something to do with having an anti-business streak as do most blue-dogs. But is that smart?

I have a possible explanation in comment# 16. IIRC, he's a CA grape farmer. By voting for a moonbat in the primary, he helps the rats go far left, then the people can reject the moonbat in the general election. It's a strategy for conservatives and libertarians who live in, and probably have ties to, rat strongholds such as CA and NY.

I think it’s more like he was raised in a dem family and it just stuck. It is a conundrum for VDH and one I can’t get my head around. I’m a history nut and his books resonate with me for some reason. Oh well.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there were pro-American Democrats. The one to remember today, on the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, is Harry Truman. Scoop Jackson. Zell Miller. Joe Lieberman (and look where it got him).
