Some prominent Republicans have caught Obama fever.

Susan Eisenhower is more than just another disappointed Republican. She is also Ike's granddaughter and a dedicated member of the party who has urged her fellow Republicans in the past to stick with the GOP. But now Eisenhower, who runs an international consulting firm, is endorsing Barack Obama. She has no plans to officially leave the Republican Party. But in Eisenhower's view, Obama is the only candidate who can build a national consensus on the issues most important to her—energy, global warming, an aging population and America's standing in the world.

Definitely sounds like she's a true Republican at heart when one of her main issues is "global warming." LOL, I guess prominent Republican Ted Kennedy endorsed Obama too.

Of course, Ike was one of the best Presidents ever. Better than Regan ever dreamed of being. You can thank him for the highways you drive on today.

What does that have to do with his granddaughter?

politics is a big club KB. Anyone that is related to a politician is a big endorsement. It's stupid, but true. I really hate the fact that a persons endorsement helps politicians..

You do remember John F. Kennedy Jr?

You do remember John F. Kennedy Jr?

A little bit. Yes

[BettorsChat]

A little bit. Yes

When he was alive the media was all over him, because he was a Kennedy. And how he would eventually run for office etc.

Yes, a good man who believed in Tax cuts and personal responsibility.
