Dems reaction to Christie

Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen two Democrat pollsters both liked Chris Christie's speech last night. Pat said he couldn't have written a better speech to reach out to the Democrats and Independents and get then thinking about Nov.

Oh and Pat figured that Gibbs announcement about how as he saw the RNC convention speeches they were all filled with hate, was written two weeks ago and it would not have mattered if there was a love fest Gibbs would still have said his prepared comments. :wink: I think Pat and Doug are seeing through the Democrat party under OBAMA

Oh and you might like to know that the FORMER DEMOCRAT Black Congressman turned Republican spoke to Megyn Kelly this morning and he said he left the Democrats as he now sees them as the very CLOSED TENT party that has no tolerance for anything that is considered center left it is FAR LEFT OR NOTHING. So he left and joined a party that was excepting of him and his view points. :wink: He also said he has been attacked by the Black causus because of his centerist views and because he is speaking out about the policies of the Dems.

The outraged speech by a Democrat castigating his party for abandoning its sensible moderation for knee-jerk, America-hating liberalism has become a proud Republican National Convention tradition. In 2004, Georgia Democrat Zell Miller wailed, “What has happened to the party I've spent my life working in?” Four years later, Joe Lieberman delivered that speech. Tonight it was Artur Davis.

What makes this particularly noteworthy is that two years ago Davis, who was the first Democratic congressman outside Illinois to back Obama’s presidential bid, was considered a rising star in Democratic political circles. In 2002, he had bucked the Democratic establishment to win a seat in the House, representing a district in his home state of Alabama, and he later became one of Obama’s early political supporters. As a reward for that support in 2008 Davis was given the honor at the Democratic Convention of seconding Obama’s nomination to be president.

But in 2010, Davis lost his bid for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Alabama. His defeat was attributed in part by his decision, looking ahead to the general gubernatorial election, to position himself more to the ideological center by, for instance, voting against Obamacare – a strategy that some say cost him support among his core constituency during the primary.

seems the liberals are still not to happy with him... how dare he step out of line?
