		Rep. Rodney Alexander's switch late Friday to the Republican Party brought swift and vitriolic responses among Democrats from the Bayou to the Beltway, including from his entire Washington staff that resigned in protest yesterday morning.

		Alexander, whose offices here and in Louisiana did not return phone calls yesterday, said he made the switch for the voters in his district.

		Alexander's party switch minutes before the candidate filing deadline on Aug. 6 left Democrats with scant hope of holding on to his 5th District seat.
		Alexander said his party switch was motivated in part by his conclusion that the candidacy of Democratic African-American homemaker Zelma "Tisa" Blakes threatened his chances of winning re-election if he remained a Democrat.
		Alexander, one of the most conservative House Democrats, implied that Blakes might have been able to attract support among fl activists who resented his decision not to endorse Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry.

		Alexander has crisply run that pool table -- pop, pop, pop -- and it now seems the decision to change was, if Machiavellian, justified by a genuine desire to better serve his impoverished if deeply conservative district.
		Remember, a Democratic Rodney Alexander won his first term in a shocking, national upset after former President Bush campaigned in the 5th District.
		One of Alexander's top guns, 23-year-old Adam Terry, was born and raised in the ferry town of Harrisonburg in northeast Louisiana and he also knows the people, places and problems in the district.

	DVD Talk Forum - Democratic representative Rodney Alexander (La. 5th) switches party
		On the last day of qualifying for the fall ballot in Louisiana, Alexander filed for re-election as a Republican, after filing earlier in the week as a Democrat.
		Alexander's congressional biography describes him as "pro-life [and] pro-Second Amendment" and notes that he is an active member of the Blue Dog Coalition of conservative Democrats.
		In this district, though, it seems unlikely that any Democrat other than Rodney Alexander could have won, so I guess it doesn't make a difference if he had switched back in March or switched now -- the Republican candidate is going to win in November.

	Rodney Alexander, Turn-coat
		Democrats are screaming bloody murder at the last minute party switch pulled by Rodney Alexander, a formerly Democratic Congressman from Louisiana who suddenly is calling himself a Republican.
		It isn't a "neat trick." Alexander's switch was unethical, a blatant cheat of the voters and a fraud on his party.
		In today's revolting blood-feud political climate, perhaps Gramm's conduct is too high a standard to expect, but that doesn't change the fact that Alexander should be sent packing purely on the basis that he has shown himself unworthy of public trust.
