Decker talking about making return to N.C. GOP (NC Majority At Stake)

Decker talking about making return to N.C. GOP
Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. - Rep. Michael Decker, the Forsyth County lawmaker whose switch to the Democratic Party this year deadlocked the state House, is thinking about going back to the GOP.

Decker's decision a week before the General Assembly convened in January turned a 61-59 Republican advantage in the chamber to a 60-60 split. The deadlock led to a historic co-speakership.

If he did switch, the Republicans would regain a 61-59 majority.

"I've talked with people about it," Decker told The News & Observer of Raleigh in an interview Friday. "It's always something that I was thinking about doing, but I'm not going to try to make my Democratic friends angry at me. I've been so well-received by my friends over there, and it's been a lot better for the Legislature."

1. but the perks of being a dem just aren't as profitable then?
If all is good, then why switch back? Missing the blind hatred? The simplicity of not thinking? The gamesmanship of lieing all the time?

Asshole. Just an attention seeker. Wants to be wanted.
