Crossing The Aisle

Former Virginia Sen. John Warner (R) has appeared in an ad endorsing Dem Sen. Mark Warner (no relation) for re-election in Virginia over former Rethuglican National Committee chairman and lobbyist for Enron Ed Gillespie.  John Warner had announced his endorsement of Sen. Mark Warner back in January 2014.  This is the first time former Sen. Warner endorsed any Democrat in Virginia.  It demonstrates just how far right the Republican / New Confederate / Stupid Party has veered that a former moderate conservative Senator of theirs (5 terms, no less) has jumped ship.
