Bye, Bye, Tim; Bye, Bye, Treasurer: Tim Cahill Leaves Democratic Party

State Treasurer Tim Cahill is leaving the Democratic party, step number one on the way to a possible gubernatorial run next year. Cahill's excuse for the transition is an opposition to tax and spend policy, something you'd think he might have objected to a while ago as, y'know, treasurer. Cahill had previously claimed he would run as a Democrat if he ran for governor, which already instills confidence in his integrity and ability to keep promises.
