PHOENIX, July 9 - At a 10 a.m. rally in front of the Starbucks on McDowell Road and North 7th Street this morning, Richard Grayson, state-certified write-in candidate in the Republican primary for Arizona's Fourth Congressional District, today asked Phoenix Democrats to temporarily switch parties so that they could vote for him.
The candidate, a radical Republican who has temporarily changed his name to Richard Hussein Grayson, noted that there were so few registered Republicans in the Fourth Congressional District that it was likely that a few Democrats-turned-Republicans could have a significant impact upon the Sept. 2 GOP vote.
"I hope that Democrats all over the district will heed my call and become Republicans this summer," Grayson said.
"You have until August 4 to re-register as a Republican so you can vote for me," Grayson told the three people at the rally, one of whom was his cousin and the other two who were at tables drinking Frappuccinos™. "After the primary, you can go back to being normal."
