More on Rep. Alexander

Sources confirmed that freshman Rep. Rodney Alexander's (R) entire DC staff resigned today, in reaction to his last-minute party switch. The staff, en masse this a.m., handed in letters of resignation and returned office keys. Alexander had originally had filed as a Dem, but re-filed as a GOPer half an hour before the deadline, making it impossible for any strong challenger to jump in, GOP or Dem. Alexander's party switch raised the ire of the LA Dem establishment, adding a soupcon more vitriol to the already competitve LA political arena.
