Intriguing: Mom calls 911 on teen gamer

Parker Griffith The Alabama congressman, elected as a Democrat, announced Tuesday he is switching to the Republican Party, citing fundamental differences with his former party on key issues including health care reform, "cap and trade" and the stimulus bills. Griffith was one of 39 Democrats to vote against the party's health care reform bill last month. He is one of only three Democrats to have voted against the health care bill, the stimulus measure, and the cap-and-trade bill. Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen expressed outrage over Griffith's decision and requested he return the money the DCCC invested to get him elected. National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions quickly welcomed Griffith to the Republican Party, and said Tuesday's events foreshadow big GOP gains in the 2010 elections.
