Why does this guy flipping around through all the parties make him the "solid conservative" in the race?
Flipping around through all the parties does *not* make him the "solid conservative" in the race; his voting record and stance on the issues make him the "solid conservative" in the race.
But what is it about a "strong conservative" that makes him run as a Democrat two years after the 1994 conservative revolution?
You'd have consult Goode himself for clues as to the local political environment that drove those decisions. Looking at Romney's record, I could ask why he ran as a Republican in his state when clearly his positions are more inline with the Democrat platform. It was a choice he made, and a successful one at that. I'm from Wisconsin. In our recent recall election, six republicans ran as democrats in the primaries. Does that really have anything to do with how conservative they were or were not? Not in the least.
I discern a man from his words and actions, not the letter that follows his name on the ballot. It's a far more successful measurement of "solid conservative" when looking for one.

And whether it's Obama or Goode, something concerns me about a guy who graduates from law school and goes straight into politics for two decades and then doesn't seem to know how to do anything else.
At least Romney worked outside of politics for a few years.
