yes zell has not changed, the party has. Anyone who read his book would know it. His is advocating the same things he did as a praised Democrat governor.
So, if a somebody changes thir position to the helping of the Republicans (Zell), it's acceptable. But is it is the other way around (Gore), it isn't.

Zell is supporting Bush because the Dem party has changed, NOT because Zell has changed. Also Zell has no skin in this game so he can't be accused of pandering.
And I tried to think of a GOP example, but couldn't come up with one. Maybe Pat Buch would be a good example.
