But nooooo, he chose to listen to the Rocket Scientist instead of the Political Scientist. Note, I said the Alabama Democratic PRIMARY, not to be confused with the general election. In order to win the Alabama democratic primary he would have run as a liberal democrat, and everyone knows white voters would rather run through hell with a pair of gasoline drawers on than vote for a liberal democrat (ask Ron Sparks) , much less a black liberal democrat in Alabama, (ask President Obama.)
One of the first things politicians learn is "know your base", not to be confused with "take your base for granted", which is what Artur Davis and his team did when they decided he should throw the voters who would vote for him under the bus, and pander to people who might vote for him.
The Davis team was so sure African American voters were going to fall for the Artur Davis is Barack Obama Okey Doke and vote for him out of some kind of "racial pride", not realizing African Americans don't vote based on the race of the candidate, but the content of the candidates agenda, like Dr. Joe Reed and Rev. Jesse Jackson tried unsuccessfully to tell them.
Artur Davis came to power in what is known as the Trojan Horse Offensive, backed by unlimited right wing dollars, enabled by a media eager to frame African Americans as becoming "more conservative".
Artur Davis is proof that media driven narrative doesn't fit the facts.
Republicans can have Artur Davis. Strike that, republicans deserve Artur Davis.
Artur Davis has zero credibility among people of good will , much like the party he serves, and the Progressive, Informed, Involved Blog he infiltrated.
