Tea Party Fave Sharron Angle Was a Democrat

Here's a fact that might surprise the left: Conservative Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle was once a registered Democrat. Angle was a Republican until June 1984, then a Dem until 1988, the AP has discovered from a study of voting records.

Angle, who won the GOP nomination last week to run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, also registered as a member of the Independent American Party for about a year in the 1990s, records show. Read the full article here. (More Sharron Angle stories.)
