Any Coloradan DUers suspect Nighthorse's switchover to the GOP in 95?
I didn't know much about the guy, were there signs that he wasn't very serious about his Democratic affiliations?

2. When the winds of change were blowing right...
He made a deal with the Republicans. He switched parties and got to keep his committee chairmanship.

3. I raised money for him...
because I thought he was a better Democrat than Dick Lamm. One of my biggest political misreadings..

4. Yes, I suspected it maybe 6 months before.
He was only elected because he was so different. Independent thinker. But I was die-hard Democrat and was worried that he wanted to be different for the sake of being different.

When he did it I called him Benedict Campbell.

5. I would have been majorly f---ing pissed as well, especially if i had voted for him
before the switch.
