Republicans For Obama

Barack Obama elicits laughs from audiences at his political rallies by telling them about Republicans who approach him and whisper their support.

But for the GOP, it’s no joke. Disillusioned with President Bush and unimpressed with presumptive nominee John McCain, many young Republicans and former Reaganites alike have gravitated toward the charismatic Obama, despite his liberal voting record. They are attracted by his promise to change the way government works and to end years of political divisiveness.

“I think everybody has different reasons but I think he’s seen as a fresh start for this county, and people like what they see,” said Susan Eisenhower, who endorsed Obama in February despite being a lifelong Republican and the granddaughter of GOP President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

“There are many other Republicans [who support Obama],” Eisenhower said. “I’ve just heard from a ton of them.”
