Just thought we could all use something to rally us as Dems. The Commish is loving it. Don't worry, though, he knows to keep a close eye on them...
3 Republican mayors bolt to Cuyahoga County Democratic Party
Three Cuyahoga County Republican mayors defected to the Democratic Party Tuesday during a primary election marked by wide-scale party hopping.
A fourth mayoral convert is a former Republican who turned independent four years ago. And there could be at least one more, said County Democratic Chairman Jimmy Dimora.
Those who switched are Mayors Kevin Patton of Solon; Kathy Mulcahy of Orange; Jeffrey Lansky of Maple Heights and Sam Alai, the independent of Broadview Heights.
....
Some of the mayors said they changed after political soul-searching and a preference to vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday.
"George Bush made me feel embarrassed to be a Republican," (Mayor Mulcahy) said. "I'm a Jewish woman who is pro-choice, anti-gun. I was like a woman in the wrong political body."
