Some Republicans Emerge To Endorse Obama

WASHINGTON — With an eye to the general election and the Pennsylvania primary, some Republicans who oppose President Bush’s war policy are endorsing Senator Obama. ... They are against continuing the Iraq war and reject what they see as Mr. Bush’s unconstitutional buildup of executive power.



Even better, Fats Limbaugh doesn't seem to have much of a role in this. You may recall that he has called for Republicans to vote for Hillary but that's not working out so well in Pennsylvania:

Of the 140,000 Pennsylvania Republicans and independents who switched registration in the last year to Democrat, the majority are Obama voters, the director of the Franklin and Marshall College poll, G. Terry Madonna, said. Registration for the state’s closed April 22 primary ended March 24. “If 2 million people vote in Pennsylvania, which would be a huge number, I think Obama gets 85,000 to 90,000 switchers,” Mr. Madonna said. “That’s 3 or 4 or 5%, which is a big deal.”
