And he did a bang-up job. For those who missed it, here is a link. There is
a video of him speaking plus a copy of the speech. He could have just
changed his mind about Obama and rode into the sunset. Instead, he
had something worthy to share and he shared it at the RNC.

'Lesson Learned': Ex-Dem Davis Electrifies RNC


(Breitbart) - Former Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL), the man who gave one of the nomination speeches for President Barack Obama before becoming a Republican and moving to Virginia, spoke tonight at the Republican National Committee, where he electrified the crowd with a spectacular attack on the presidency of Barack Obama. His central appeal was to independents and Democrats, whom he implored to reconsider their support of the failed president.

I don't know if I trust him 100%. He's sounding too good to be true.

Really ticked him off when he didn't win the Democratic Governor in the primary.

I think he sees Buckwheat and the Democrats as going down the tubes long term and he's changing over to the team on top of it's game.

He was on Megyn Kelly today and explained the reason he left the Democrat Party was because he saw them as a CHANGED PARTY. CHANGE he did not approve of. One of closed minds and anyone not believing in the FAR LEFT AGENDA had no place within the Democrat tent. He has been attacked by fellow Black Causus members because of his center left beliefs and knew that to get anything done he needed to go to where he would be excepted. GEE A BLACK MAN NOT WELCOME IN THE OBAMA/DEMOCRAT PARTY. Here I thought we have been told the Dems are a big tent party excepting of all, I guess not so much. :?

when a person switches parties I tend to wait to see what they do before supporting them as well...

but his history shows he is a good leader and able to cross lines... even those seldom crossed..

As a second term member, Davis won a floor fight to restore funding to the HOPE VI program for renovating public housing; he persuaded over sixty Republicans to vote with Democrats. In 2005, Davis was the lead Democratic sponsor of a bill establishing a national cord blood bank which will widen the availability of blood transfusions for thousands of patients who suffer from diseases such as sickle cell anemia and diabetes.[14] He received an A– grade on his voting record relating to veteran issues from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.[15]

Davis was appointed to the Senior Whip Team for the Democratic Caucus of the 109th Congress and was the co-chair of the centrist House New Democrat Coalition, as well as the Southern Regional co-chair for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Davis was the first member of the Congressional Black Caucus to demand that former House Ways and Means chair Charlie Rangel surrender his gavel in the wake of an ongoing ethics investigation.[16]

Davis twice voted against the Democratic-supported health care reform legislation, first in November 2009,[17] and again in March 2010 when the legislation passed and was signed into law by President Obama.[18] He was the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus to vote against the legislation in March 2010;[18] he was also the member from the most-heavily Democratically-leaning district to vote against the legislation.[19]
