County-club Dems

It's very interesting to see how some people change their tune over the years. Take Bob Geary of the Independent. The Indy has a rep of being a progressive voice - some of that earned through Geary's columns. However, Geary of late sounds like he's joined the inside the Beltline, country-club set he used to mock not that long ago.

Take his column "The people have won" about the victory of Jerry Meek 271 to 242 over Ed Turlington for NCDP Chair in 2005.
