Slog - Comments on Scott McClellan Is... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/scott_mcclellan_is_1 ...endorsing Obama. McClellan, President Bush's former press secretary, has made this decision because he, like Powell, is black. I wonder when McCain is going to try use these endorsements to link Obama with Bush. That will make an interesting turn in an already interesting race. Obama is a terrorist. Obama is an Arab. Obama is George Bush....

We all like him because we're black. Eurfuckingeka.

What prominent Republican is going to endorse Obama next? Hmmm. I’d like to say Condi because in interviews she just seems like she is so lukewarm about McCain… But she won’t do it while in office.

IS just north of Northern Virginia, and as we've been told, N.VA is a hot-bed of anti-Americanism, so one can only assume folks get even MORE anti-American the farther north one goes.

He's a bandwagon-hopper. The only reason he's still not Bush's mouthpiece is because people stopped liking Bush, not because he had any kind of Damascus experience.

That could be one reason why McCain hasn't done this.

Colin Powell, Andrew Cuomo, Scott McClellan, Donna Shalala ... mix and match. They'll endorse--for what it's worth--anyone they think is likely to hand them a job in the next Administration.

Republican pols tend to be a bit more obvious with it, because they don't have the option of going into the mainstream media for new careers, as Democrat ones do.
