Another former GOP governor backs Obama
Barack Obama Friday picked up another endorsement from a leading Republican — former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld.
Weld, who earlier this year campaigned for another Republican, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, backed Obama in the same week as former
Minnesota Gov. Arne Carlson, a Republican, and former Bush administration Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Weld, in a statement, Friday, called Obama "a once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America's standing in the
world."
And, said Weld, governor of Massachusetts from 1991 to 1997, "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."

This is beginning to look like a jump the ship scenario.
McCain should fire everyone of his campaign advisers because I think they are all disloyal and are secretly pulling for Obama.
The campaign has made mistake after mistake and is now losing its base in the final steps to the election.
What happened to the whole "Sarah Palin solidified the base" nonsense?
McCain needed independents and moderates his base should have been concrete to begin with.
Personally I think and have thought for a while that McCain himself is handing the election to Obama on a silver platter. I think the poor man decided
he was too old and tired to handle the mess America is in.
