Do you know any Republicans for Obama? Among the Republicans who caucused for Obama, I am curious about how many will stick with him for the general election.

This slays me
In a funny way.
But on another note, has Jim Leach been asked about the repeal of Glass Stegall and whether or not Gramm-Leach-Bleiley was the right thing to do?

I know three
One actually didn’t caucus for Obama…he caucused for McCain. Two didn’t caucus at all, but are voting for him in the general. All of them are pretty moderate Republicans. I think they are Republican out of habit more than anything.
I wouldn’t be surprised if more Republicans vote for him in the general election than caucused for him. After all, if you are a Republican and you caucus, all of your Republican friends know it.
But I think that all depends on the state of the race in November.
