I Pledge Allegiance...

On my drive to work today I started thinking about my first election when I was living in Texas. It was 1980 and I remember being so disappointed when Jimmy Carter lost to “Bedtime for Bonzo” co-star, Ronald Reagan. A couple of years later I did take some solace in the victory of my senatorial candidate to replace outgoing Texas Republican senator, John Tower. That candidate was Democrat, Phil Gramm. That good feeling was short-lived however when, upon being sworn in to office, Gramm knelt at the feet of Saint Ron and renounced the party that had worked to elect him and proclaimed his undying allegiance to the Republican Party.


So here is my question; do you think that, after he has to scramble for all the Republican votes he can muster to ensure his re-election (due in large part to the massive defection of Progressive Democrats alienated by his continual capitulation of Democratic principles to the Tea Party Republicans), President O’Clinton Obama will, in January 2013, finally make the official switch to the party of Reagan?
