I take a lot the Niagara Times says with a grain of salt, but they are aware of the Republican Party scene in Niagara County. That is why this news about Jack Davis switching back to the Republican Party should be given a serious glance.
We went on to state that Davis, one of the single largest financial supporters of the county Dems, was so infuriated with Rivera that he would no longer support the party financially. Remember that Davis gave the county Dems the hefty sum of $30,000 in 2007. In fact, we speculated that Davis would not only cease his financial support of the county party, that he may in fact re-allocate his hefty campaign contributions to the county GOP.
It appears that this scenario is much closer to reality than we would have imagined.
The Niagara County Republican Party held a fundraiser this past Thursday at Antonio's, and sources have told us that Jack Davis attended the event. If this is indeed true, this does not bode well for the county Dems. Davis has a boatload of cash and has shown that he is not afraid to spend it supporting political parties and candidates.
Not that I'm in the business of consulting the Republicans, but I would be a little concerned if this switch goes down. The last time Davis switched parties, it was because he paid money to see Dick Cheney and never got a sit-down with him. That led to him becoming a Democrat and the disastrous three runs for Congress on the Democratic Party line.
I know some Democrats might be upset because Davis isn't around to cut them checks anymore, but this is a great day for our party if this turns out to be true.
As the song goes, hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back. |
