That's something you don't hear about so often. Did it happen gradually? Did one particular issue change his mind about many issues? (This latter actually happened to an old friend of mine, who was a committed conservative up until a few years ago, when she got a direct taste of the Bush administration's stance on an issue which meant a great deal to her, and was so upset by the entirely predictable party-line response to her emotional plea that she ended up rethinking her whole political perspective.)
