On the homepage, I take a look at Democrat-turned-Tea Partier Jack Davis. Here’s a taste:
At a Buffalo, N.Y., fundraiser in November 2003, he confronted then–vice president Cheney vocally about the administration’s policies — so vocally, in fact, that he got himself kicked out. Dissatisfied with the forms of protest open to a private citizen — a full-page ad in the Buffalo News here, a resolution by the Erie County legislature there — Davis decided to run for office.

The Democratic rank and file were suspicious, of course. What did their new standard bearer think of a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage? “Don’t waste my time on that,” Davis scoffed. “I’m here to save jobs. That shouldn’t even be on the table, but it is.”
