The Honorable Mr. Taylor...

The guy has balls... you have to give him that.

Seems Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS) actually went on the record and said he voted for McCain in '08 rather than his own party's pick, Obama. He seems to have thought it better to vote "for the devil you know". He has also stated publicly that he will not support Pelosi for another term as Speaker of the House, and will give his support to Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO) instead.

All this seems to be in response to the Palazzo campaign's questions about Taylor's past voting record... but if all you can point to is his Presidential pick and his vote for Speaker of the House and call THAT his support of "liberal agendas", then perhaps the GOP campaign in South Mississippi is having more trouble than anyone thought. With Taylor coming "out" and admitting to having voted for a GOP Presidential candidate, after he voted (in 2006) for Pelosi as Speaker, I'm pretty sure he is sending the message to his constituents that his vote reflects their needs and opinions.

What does it say about the Democratic Party in conservative America, though... to have life-long Dems admit that they cannot and will not support the two largest figures in their party today? And they thought the GOP was in chaos after the '08 elections? Please...
