GOP scores: Alexander switches parties

From the Corner:

BATON ROUGE — In a last-minute move that some said was orchestrated to prevent another Democrat or Republican from entering the race for the 5th Congressional District seat, U.S Rep. Rodney Alexander switched parties Friday.
[snip]On Friday, Alexander said changing parties would not change the way he votes or his stance on issues.

“I’m a member of the Congressional Blue Dogs, the most conservative group in Congress,” he said. But “the Democratic Party has drifted to the left and left us in the open. I hate it. … I was a Democrat who was ashamed of some of the things the Democratic Party stood for.”

Alexander said the entry of Zelma “Tisa” Blakes, a Democrat from Monroe, pushed him over the edge into the Republican Party. He said if the Democratic Party fully supported him, he would have been the only Democrat in the race.

“I just decided it would be best for me to switch parties, that I would be more effective in the 5th District in the state of Louisiana as a Republican,” he said. “Just being in the minority party but not voting with the minority party all the time created a hardship.”

Chalk this up as another indication of a Bush blowout this year.
