More repubs jumping ship....
“I wanted to see the next vice president of the United States,” said Josh Simmons, Gators for McCain chairman.

Simmons said he voted for Obama about two weeks ago.

“I’ve seen a different John McCain than the one I signed up to work for,” he said.

Simmons said he submitted his resignation Sunday night and will no longer be chairman for the group, which has more than 1,000 members.

MANCHESTER – Fred Bramante, a member of McCain's New Hampshire Leadership Committee and a 2008 Alternate Delegate to the Republican National Convention today announced his support for Senator Obama's Campaign for Change.

Bramante, a Co-Chair of Gov. Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign and former Republican gubernatorial candidate, is a past Chairman and current member of the New Hampshire State Board of Education. His endorsement marks the first time nationally that a delegate or alternate delegate to the 2008 Republican National Convention has publicly announced their decision to support Sen. Obama.

1. I have a feeling this is happening all over the country...
all sorts of long-time Republicans, who aren't in a position to be issuing press releases about it, will be quietly walking into voting booths tomorrow (if they haven't already) to vote Obama.

3. Oh my. I guess there is an awful lot of disillusionment going around.
I wonder how many folks like this are simply going to vote for Obama without making the public statement that these people are..
