I've always liked Gilchrest....he seems to be an honest man who votes with his conscience (i.e. on LGBT issues, Iraq, etc.).

1. Umm.... an endorsement when you don't have a dog in the race doesn't mean as much....

It's cool, but it would have meant a jillion times more if he was actually running for re-election.

2. Still - it's good to see some Republicans seeing the light!

First Chafee & Leach
Now Gilchrest

I bet you Hagel is next.

3. Folks on the Hill don't like McCain. nt

4. Someone around here..

is doing a journal on Republicans endorsing Obama. To me it's getting pretty impressive. I know endorsements didn't matter during the Primary, has the rule been modified so that endorsement matter, but only when one is running for re-election?

5. I don't know, but it has zero to do with what I said.

6. I'm hoping for a Colon Powell endorsement soon!

not for me... for Obama... :P~ LOL

7. That would be great also....Hagel and Powell would probably help for folks "on the fence" n/t

8. He's Still Holding Out

Someone asked him the other day and he shrugged his shoulders. He must have too much blood money tied up with Camp Gramps he can't let go of.

I think he's staying low profile...not gonna endorse anyone.

9. Maybe a non-endorsement of McSame is just as good as an Obama endorsement n/t
