Raise Your Hand If You're a Democrat But Voted Republican Twice Recently.

That's right Ron Littlefield, longtime democrat, you keep your hand up. You voted for Republicans in the past two primary elections, didn't you?

The most important coalition for political success that Ron put together in his first run for mayor in 2005 was inner city blacks. Inner city black voters have generally supported the democratic candidate, whoever that is since, well always. I think those voters would be surprised to learn that Ron Littlefield voted Republican in the 2006 Senate and 2008 presidential primaries.

Honestly, it's hard to figure why he did that, but the bottom line is that in both circumstances Ron Littlefield could have voted for an African American Democrat but chose to vote for a white Republican. Now I believe that a person should vote for whomever they chose, but if you are the leader of your political party (as a mayor is in a city of our size), you're kind of expected to vote for your own party. Right Ron?

If you don't believe me, check the public voting records.
