In brief, presumptive 2nd CD Republican nominee Scott Rigell said he “was moved by [Obama’s] rhetoric and by the prospect of seeing a minority rise to the highest office in our land.” Does that sound like a conservative Republican to you?

By the way, I also find it amusing that Rigell says he “supported Governor Romney’s bid for the nomination because his values match mine.” Must be Romney’s “values” like “socialized medicine” in Massachusetts. Heh.
