More Republicans jump ship - Weld, McClellan support Obama
Source: Christian Science Monitor

Former Massachusetts Governor William Weld, a Republican, announced this morning his support for the Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama.

Weld’s endorsement comes a day after former Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan and the former Governor of Minnesota Arne Carlson, also a Republican, announced their support - separately - of Obama’s candidacy.

In a statement Weld said, “Sen. Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America’s standing in the world.”

“We need a president who will lead based on our common values and Sen. Obama demonstrates an ability to unite and inspire. Throughout this campaign I’ve watched his steady leadership through trying times and I’m confident he is the best candidate to move our country forward,” he said.

2. The lights will turn out on their own. They won't have money to pay the bill after
paying for Palin's wardrobe.

3. They don't need electricity. They can see by the light of their burning crosses.

4. Scotty? Did disgust at Bu*h and Cheney's utter and complete corruption
cause you to see the light?

Nice to see that there are a few republicans with a conscience.
