Douglas Kmiec, Head of the Office of Legal Counsel under Reagan & Bush 41

Charles Fried, Solicitor General of the United States under Reagan

Rita Hauser, Former White House intelligence advisor under George W. Bush

Scott McClellan, Former Press Secretary to President George W. Bush

William Milliken
Former Governor of Michigan

Harris Fawell

Claudine Schneider
, Former Congressman from Rhode Island

Lowell Weicker
, Former Governor and Senator from Connecticut

Larry Pressler, Former Senator from South Dakota

Wayne Gilchrest

Arne Carlson, Former Governor of Minnesota

Scott Bade also told me that the lauded magazine the Economist is also supporting Obama in this election and here is the link.

In the interest of not appearing so biased i also visited the Democrats for McCain site

but failed to find a list of notable Democrats supporting McCain in this election.

Have A Happy Halloween!!

I watched this episode and was thoroughly entertained by the idea that republicans in large numbers support Obama. I am somewhat surprised based on the fact that McCain is considered to be more liberal than past candidates. I feel like the more liberal republicans would identify more with McCain than previous republican nominees and wouldn not endorse a candidate from an opposing party. I guess McCain's poor performances in debates and his V.P. nomination of Palin hurt him more than we all thought.
