He's the first democrat to be elected in the district in over 40 years. If he leaves the party the democrats lose the majority. The party system isn't set in stone. You don't have to agree with every issue to be a part of it. Bright received national party support simply because he is the most liberal candidate that could be elected in Alabama's second district. He's running a hard race and, in order to win, has to dismiss his party in favor of his constituency.
Regardless of anything he says, he is a big spender, not a conservative.

What a douchebag. If you hate the party, leave it.
