A delegate's defection

This spring, longtime Philadelphia GOP activist Jesse Walters achieved a lifelong dream. The 48-year-old Walters, local treasurer of the leading gay Republican group, the Log Cabin Club, was elected as a full delegate to his party’s convention in New York City.

But when the gavel sounds in Madison Square Garden, Walters won’t be anywhere within 100 miles. He’s decided to stay home because he’s so disenchanted with President Bush’s performance. In a startling turn of events, the president of the Germantown Republican Club told Campaign Extra! he’s voting for Democrat John Kerry in November.
