Yet Another Republican For Obama

Former Gov. William Weld, who was the first of four Republicans to hold the governorship of Massachusetts from 1991 to 2003, endorsed Barack Obama for president last week.

Senator Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America's standing in the world. We need a president who will lead based on our common values and Senator Obama demonstrates an ability to unite and inspire. Throughout this campaign I've watched his steady leadership through trying times and I'm confident he is the best candidate to move our country forward.

Weld was governor from 1991 to 1997, and endorsed Mitt Romney in the Republican primaries earlier this year.
