One time Democrat and the man who seconded President Obama’s nomination in 2008 Rep. Artur Davis in on the ground in Virginia, telling everyone to vote for Mitt Romney: In Arlington, the former congressman will “discuss Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s bold ideas to strengthen the middle class and deal with our long-term debt,” according to a Romney-Ryan campaign aide. He will be joined at the press conference by Virginia GOP Victory Chair Pete Snyder and a local business owner. Davis has already made a few appearances for Romney in Virginia and in North Carolina this year. Newser writes: Davis served four terms as a Democratic congressman, but announced a switch to the Republican Party in May. “I think the Obama administration has candidly gone too far to the left. You can raise all kinds of questions on whether that’s good politics or not,” Davis told Wolf Blitzer. “Obviously the election will determine that.” Meanwhile, former Republicans out stumping for Obama are…none.

Chicago Erects Memorial Marker to Commemorate Site of Obamas First Kiss at Baskin-Robbins… A Company Saved By Bain Shovel ready… The Windy and broke City erected a memorial to commemorate the site of Michelle and Barack’s first kiss. “It tasted like chocolate.” Via Hating Breitbart Chicago Breaking News reported: She was an attorney at a big Chicago law firm. He was a Harvard Law student who landed a job there as a summer associate. He was immediately smitten. She wasn’t so sure. But he won her over, and the couple sealed their budding romance with a kiss at the Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop in Hyde Park. So goes the story of how Michelle and Barack Obama fell in love in 1989. And on Wednesday, a historical marker went up at the corner of Dorchester Avenue and 53rd Street noting the exact location where the couple had their first smooch. That’s just creepy.
