http://www.dailymail.com/news/News/2005102722/Richie Robb figures he never really left the Republican Party. Instead, he says, it left him behind.
And if you take a look at Robb's voter registration file now, you'll notice a ‘D' instead of an ‘R.' The longtime Republican figurehead and South Charleston mayor crossed party lines and is now a registered Democrat.
"I stopped at the voter's registration office in downtown Charleston and thought, ‘Why not?' " Robb said of the change he made a couple of weeks ago. He also resigned from the state GOP executive committee earlier this month.
