…as the democratic party is now discovering:
“People are coming out of the woodwork saying, ‘We’ve been Republicans in hiding and now we want to be out and help,’ ” said Jeffrey Hopkins, chairman of the City Republican Committee in the old Democratic union stronghold of Fall River.
It’s like the fall of communism, once people lose their fear they will suddenly shout out what they think:
In the past, he said, “You tend not to talk about your political beliefs very much. You won’t find anyone who agrees with you and you end up getting into fights.” But now, “That’s changing.”
However it hasn’t changed everywhere:
One Provincetown businesswoman and closet Republican said she’d like someone to organize a town GOP group, but she’s not sure it will happen.
She didn’t want her name used out of fear she’d lose customers. “Everybody has to have the courage of their convictions,” she said, “but I’m worried about my business.”
It remains to seen what is going to be the result. How will our democratic friends react? Have they learned anything, will republicans overreach?
It will be fun to find out.

#1 If I don’t make it to CPAC it won’t be because No Sheeples didn’t try to help:
Having said all that, what the CPAC needs that it doesn’t yet have is a Sicilian blogger from Fitchburg, MA. The trademark Sicilian hand gestures. The ubiquitous fedoras. Trust me, says Robert Stacy McCain, we need Da Tech Guy at CPAC.
Aleister at American Glob and Dan Collins at Piece Of Work In Progress wholeheartedly agree that the man who played a role in covering the “Massachusetts Miracle” should be with other conservative bloggers. If my opinion counts for anything with my readers, I want the man to go and help stand guard over liberty.
…Not only has she never met me but I actually neglected to answer an e-mail she sent me on the subject just last week. Talk about owing a debt of gratitude!
#2 I’ve learned is that being one of the first on the Patrick Kennedy story doesn’t guarantee a Memeorandum link.
On the Subject the “moderate voice” says this:
His district in Rhode Island is heavily Democratic so it is unlikely to switch parties.
Yeah it’s not like there has been anything that might indicate otherwise, the Confederate Yankee reminds him:
His desire to do something else was no doubt due in part to the fact that polls indicated that the possibility of him being reelected was very slim, especially in a climate that saw his famous father replaced by Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts.
Oh yeah, Scott Brown, the guy Kennedy called a Joke.
Who’s laughing now?
