“Obamacans” or “Obamacons”

You are starting to see more and more Republicans and Conservatives coming out in favor of Obama. The trend continues with another top Republican:

Former U.S. Rep. Jim Leach, a leading Republican moderate with a foreign policy background, is endorsing Democrat Barack Obama for president. The former Iowa congressman’s backing was announced Tuesday as part of a group of GOP activists crossing party lines this year.

Leach told reporters: “I’m convinced that the national interest demands a new approach to our interaction with the world.” Leach added that Obama offers the leadership to do that. […]

Leach predicted that a lot of Republicans and independents are going to be attracted by Obama’s campaign.

While McLame had a video out last week using pre-2006 soundbytes of Democrats giving him random praise, this highlights how Obama is in the present, with the Conservatives actively praising and supporting his Presidential campaign.
