Barack Obama Gains More Republican Support, Including From Charles Fried, a John McCain Adviser
Our "Five Things" today (over in the center column of the U.S. News opinion page, to the right of the Thomas Jefferson Street blog) is a list of major Republicans who have endorsed Barack Obama. Little did we realize how quickly the list would grow today.
Sure, Scott McClellan endorsing Obama probably won't come as a surprise in some conservative circles. And those same folks probably won't be taken aback at former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld's approval of the Democratic nominee.
But here's my favorite of the day: Charles Fried, a former solicitor general under Ronald Reagan, has endorsed Obama. Here's the kicker: Fried was an active member of John McCain's campaign as recently as last month, serving on a pair of campaign advisory committees (hat tip to TPM).

Women Haters
Why can't you write that Hillary no. 1 aide is supporting Mc Cain. Have you already forgotten 9-11. You must have and one day you and the rest of the antiwar, Bush and Chaney haters are going to wake up. You may wake up. and realize what President Busch was doing is to make you safe alone with the other millions of this country. Gov. Palin has more experience than Obomo. But; the different to you and the most of your readers is that she wears a skirt. It is a shame that you and the majority of your readers hate women and to think all of you have Mothers. So...........don't give me that BS about lack of experience. We all know the real reason for trashing Gov. Palin. (Written not edited)
