Is Anybody Still Supporting John McCain? Anybody?

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

Jesus! The Republican Party sure is hemorrhaging conservative support as the last grains of sand twirl through the election hour glass.

Earlier today, we got news that former U.S. Press Secretary Scott "The Weasel" McClellan -- who recently came out against the Bush administration's illegal activities in the Iraq debacle about six years too late -- will be voting for Barack Obama.

Now we're finding out that an actual honest-to-god McCain campaign adviser, Charles Fried, has already voted for Obama. His rationale? Because of McCain's "choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis."

And -- since we're already feeling light-headed from the blood loss -- we might as well go all the way and watch two conservatives give their reasons for voting against McCain from tonight's edition of Hardball: former Massachusetts governor and Mitt Romney supporter William Weld and the world's drunkest intellectual and Iraq War apologist, Christopher Hitchens. Weld, in his Obama endorsement, is very respectful of McCain.

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

George W. Bush's former press secretary Scott McClellan, who spent the summer wandering around the country asking everyone "What happened, back then when I was press secretary?" is back in the news.

After searching what remains of his soul, McClellan has made his choice for president...

"From the very beginning I have said I am going to support the candidate that has the best chance for changing the way Washington works and getting things done and I will be voting for Barack Obama," McClellan said during the interview, which was taped for the Saturday broadcast of a new CNN show, "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News."

And, all together now: "That's shocking! CNN gave D.L. Hughley his own show?"
