Pat Powers, Future Democrat?
Pat Powers over at The War College is getting treated, as he said, like a red-headed step child, at the SD Republican Convention in Oacoma.
Maybe Pat should be a Democrat. Seriously.
My party would love a smart, experienced, passionate person willing to get involved in the process. Plus, he wouldn't get treated like crap as a Democrat.
I stated my reasons why Pat should switch in the comments of his post. There's a re-alignment of the parties going on nationally and in South Dakota. It even sweeps up the Pat Powers in the party--people who are tolerant, independent, and willing to listen.
Pat, come on in. The water's fine.

"Tolerant, independent, and willing to listen" to anything but criticism of sleazy campaign tactics by hired out-of-state bloggers. ;-)
You can have him.
I know of three other Republicans (at least) - that have switched parties within the last few Bush years. One person cited specifically Roger Hunt as one main reason for the switch. The R branch of my extended family are so disenchanted with the direction the R party is going that they are voting Obama.
If Pat shifts, he won't be the only one.
Yeh. Pat's stock is rising in the dead tree press. He dines with a Healy (SDEA division). He agrees with a position on a ballot issue, taken unanimously in April by the Democratic Party's State Central Committee. And he's a decent fellow to know. Why not? South Dakota Democrats are enjoying their first uptick in registration numbers in more than 20 years and (most importantly) the Cubs are on their best track to winning a national championship in 99 years, so maybe ...
Hey PP, sell a house today and give us a shout. Be glad to sign you up. Just remember that Squibby reportedly left our party to join your party. The air is much fresher over here.
