Curtis Adams, a long-time Democrat commissioner in Tennessee switches parties
While they fight it out, a long-time Democratic commissioner in Hamilton County, Tennessee announced Monday that he's switching parties. A release from the State Republican Party pegged Curtis Adams' move to Dean, but a spokesman for the state party tells us that "local party officials have left the option open for Commissioner Adams to join the Republican Party for some time, and I think he has been watching the direction that his party has been taking and decided that now was the right time."
Said Adams yesterday: "For almost 18 years in office as a Democrat I believed in what they were — not what it is today. The Republican Party is a party of conviction, a party of change. Their values, goals and beliefs are mine."
Whether there's more in that pot o' gold remains to be seen.
