The Wall Street Journal reports today that these prominent Republicans can be added to the list of people that endorse Barack Obama:

– William Weld says Obama is a “once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America’s standing in the world.”

– Arne Carlson:  “I think we have in Barack Obama the clear possibility of a truly great president,” he said. “I would contend that it’s the most important election of my lifetime.”

– Ken Adelman:  a prominent conservative on foreign policy matters announced his support for Obama on Tuesday, telling the New Yorker that his decision was based on temperament and judgment.   Adelman called McCain “impetuous, inconsistent, and imprudent; ending up just plain weird” in his handling of the U.S. economic crisis. He also was unsettled by McCain’s choice of running mate. “Not only is Sarah Palin not close to being acceptable in high office—I would not have hired her for even a mid-level post in the arms-control agency,” Adelman wrote.

– Scott McClellan:  Obama has “the best chance of changing the way Washington works.”

– Charles Fried, who recently resigned from the McCain Campaign, “voted absentee for Obama this week, and informed McCain campaign general counsel Trevor Potter of his decision in a letter where he stated he could not support McCain in large part because of his selection of Palin as his running mate.”

Holy Moly!

Obama for President
