Obama should do an ad of the Eisenhower and Shriver endorsement.

A voice over citing portions of their speech/op ed would be very powerful. I've given out copies of the Eisenhower op ed which I've found older voters to be very responsive to.

4. That David Eisenhower (grandson of Ike) married one of the Nixon girls --

(it was Julie, not Patricia, I'm pretty sure.) More Republican endorsements for the O-man!

The last time the United States had an open election was 1952. My grandfather was pursued by both political parties and eventually became the Republican nominee. Despite being a charismatic war hero, he did not have an easy ride to the nomination. He went on to win the presidency -- with the indispensable help of a "Democrats for Eisenhower" movement. These crossover voters were attracted by his pledge to bring change to Washington and by the prospect that he would unify the nation.

It is in this great tradition of crossover voters that I support Barack Obama's candidacy for president. If the Democratic Party chooses Obama as its candidate, this lifelong Republican will work to get him elected and encourage him to seek strategic solutions to meet America's greatest challenges. To be successful, our president will need bipartisan help.
