With life long conservatives jumping ship and moving to the democrats side I have to wonder what gives. Is it slight of hand? Are they really that embarrassed with Palin? Are they planning to prop her up in 2012? Is Obama promising to scratch their backs in a non partisan way? Hmmm

Hmm. Although "divide and conquer" political strategists would like you to believe that adults have fixed political ideals throughout their lives, in reality many people are more fluid over the span of decades. Second, a Republican is not necessarily a conservative nor is a Democrat necessarily a liberal. This is especially true of governors, because they have to be progressive to find a practical middle ground that actually accomplishes something. Now I don't know why Gov. Milliken is unhappy with McCain, but I do know several progressive Republicans who are dismayed with the fact that McCain is not leading his party, but rather obviously the Republican central committee has puppetized him.
