Former Reagan chief of staff endorses Obama
When I posted a video of Ronald Reagan apparently endorsing Obama it was, of course, a video mash-up. A fake if you will. That is not the case with the endorsement of former chief of staff to Ronald Reagan, according to CNN:
Former Reagan chief of staff Ken Duberstein told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria this week he intends to vote for Democrat Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Duberstein said he was influenced by another prominent Reagan official - Colin Powell - in his decision.
“Well let’s put it this way - I think Colin Powell’s decision is in fact the good housekeeping seal of approval on Barack Obama.”
Powell served as national security advisor to Reagan during Duberstein’s tenure as chief of staff.

When Ronald Reagan’s former chief of staff backs Barack instead of McCain citing Reagan’s former national security advisor, when it’s supposed to be McCain’s strongest reason to vote for him, you’ve got to wonder why anybody would vote for McCain.
