Current & Former Republicans Backing Obama

In an amazing break with their propaganda machine Fox News reported on the growing number of GOP and ex-GOP who are throwing their support behind Obama.

A conference call Tuesday featured former Iowa Rep. Jim Leach, former White House intelligence adviser Rita Hauser and former Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who represented his state as a Republican, but switched to become a Democrat so he could vote for Obama in the primary.

“I’m convinced that the national interest demands a new approach to our interaction with the world,” said Leach, adding that Obama offers the leadership to do that.

Add to that list Fairbanks, Alaska, Mayor Jim Whitaker, a Republican, who has also has announced his support for Obama.

I would look for Republican Senator Chuck Hagel to announce his support any day!
