Former Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee and Republican Michigan State Senator Phil Arthurhultz talk candidly on why, despite their strong Republican credentials, they are supporting Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the presidential election.

1. Wow. I had forgotten all about Moderate Republicans

They seemed to have disappeared from the media and from my mind. They are so reasonable. No wonder they are voting for Obama!

2. well, well

Thank god there is some sense in some repulicans. Oh god McCain is in in trouble. YES we can!!

3. Not all Republicans are bad

These two will certainly be ostracized for their support of Obama. Hopefully, there will be a new party formed from the ashes of the Republican Party that they will be able to fit into.

This took real courage on their part.
