Davis, who is black, may be best known for seconding Obama's nomination at the Democratic National Convention in 2008, when he served as an Obama campaign co-chairman. Davis said he had hoped Obama's presidency would make a huge dent in race relations, as well as move the Democratic Party further to the center.
In 2010, Davis made an unsuccessful bid for governor of Alabama. In May he announced he was switching to the GOP, leaving the door open to a future political bid as a Republican.
Davis said in June that he thinks his one time political party was becoming more unwelcoming towards Southern conservative Democrats.
"I think the Obama administration has candidly gone too far to the left. You can raise all kinds of questions on whether that's good politics or not," Davis said on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." "Obviously the election will determine that."
The Romney campaign says Davis will team up with Virginia GOP Victory Chairman Pete Snyder and a local business owner at an event in Arlington.
Buzz Feed was first to report on the Davis appearance at the Romney campaign event.

He switched parties months ago. He's old news. Let's try to keep it that way.

For a football site, this place has got to be the most infatuated site with race I've ever seen. Every other day there is some new thread about "so and so is racist."

And most of the time, it seems like the posters that are making these accusations don't have a clue what real racism is.

We argue using two different definitions. The conservatives tend to define racism as actively harming someone because of their race. While the liberals tend to define racism as any act that results in people of one race or another being harmed more than another race. Thus, cutting food stamps, which hurts poor people, who are disproportionately people of color, could be seen as racist from a liberal perspective, but conservatives would see it differently. I think it's the different meanings we assign to the word "racism" that makes the subject so common here.

Completely agree with your first paragraph...honestly "left" for a bit because of it....it is bizarre to me.

The election will determine that and that's what makes the country great. Some other countries have way less of a choice. Our choice is not the greatest but if you include the primaries ... our choices are at least there to choose. Would be nice if we were not so republican and democrat but that's what we are so we do the best we can with it.
