Republican Gilchrest Makes It Official: ‘I’m Voting For Obama’

By Jonathan Allen, CQ Staff

Barack Obama has officially picked up the support of a Republican congressman who had backtracked after appearing to endorse the Democratic presidential nominee in a radio interview last week.

“I’m voting for Obama,” Maryland Rep. Wayne T. Gilchrest told Congressional Quarterly Tuesday night.

Gilchrest, who lost a tough Republican primary in February, also has endorsed the Democratic candidate vying to succeed him next year.

So, why is he impersonating a Republican?

[LiberConservative]

Never heard of him. Next ...

[shadowgovernment]

Yep I supported Andy as well and was surprised and over joyed we got rid of this RINO..
NOTE TO ALL FR: Newt supported Gilchrest against Andy -
as did the GOP Leaders in Congress with money from the GOP national party hacks ..I hope that wakes you all up as to the RINO’s running the GOP..Conservatives
are no better than cur dogs to the current GOP big wigs and we better understand that. NO money to senate or house GOP committees period

You sure? (not challenging, just asking)

Repealing "don't ask; don't tell" isn't a problem ~ this policy let's gays into the military as long as they keep quiet about it.

It also lets psycho-sociopathic sexual sadists into the military ~ where they just naturally gravitate to prisons full of POWs.

Probably needs repealed just for the heck of it.

Gilchrist, you are a Democrat with only an R beside your name. May you get a job as a community organizer with Bill Ayres andthe other friends of obama

[NCPAC]

If I’m not mistaken, Newt Gingrich and former MD LG Michael Steele held a fundraiser for Gilchrest as well.

[MaineConservative]

Because he knew he couldn't win as a SOCIALIST - er, I meant Democrat.

What's the difference between Lenin and Obama?

A: Lenin was never an American citizen.

What's the difference between Gus Hall and Obama?

Gus Hall is more conservative!!

[icwhatudo]

This is great news!!!

This RINO endorsed Harris’s opponent in Maryland’s 1st district. He tried to be all “moderate” good of the district yada yada, but this will really hurt the dem candidate Kratovil or whatever his name is. Keep in mind this area is so conservative now, thanks to DEM gerrymandering dumping all the conservatives in two districts in the state, that the dem has had to put “INDEPENDENT” on all his signage to hide the fact he is a dem-LOL

[fieldmarshaldj]

Gilchrest officially loses his mind.

[shadowgovernment]

“Gilchrest officially loses his mind.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>......
NO he finally is speaking what was on his mind all this time. The GOP is infected with too many of his ilk, too many.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Actually, I misspoke. He couldn’t have lost something he never possessed in the first place.

[Clintonfatigued]

Oh, well. It might have gotten some attention if he’d announced this at Obama’s convention.

[sweetiepiezer]

I just received this from someone I know who was in my face about Obama, had just sent him some facts on BO.

“He’s got this Republicans vote!!!!! Time for some new blood, Palin will take us back to burning witches at the stake. No thanks!”

Then he sent this:

Like that is going to happen.

I asked what is the flaovr of the kool-aid?

[princeofdarkness]

I guess he’s the House version of Lincoln Chafee.

[Lancey Howard]

Gilchrest, who lost a tough Republican primary in February...

Okay, so this simple p.o.s. is gone anyway. Who cares what he says now?

[CharlesWayneCT]

If he lost the Republican primary, and is endorsing the Democrat replacing him, he is no longer a Republican, he’s a Democrat.

There’s no news in Democrats endorsing Obama, especially in Maryland where Obama will win easily.

[WSGilcrest]

12th century sheep rustlers!

[Impy]

Just once I'd like to see a RINO lose a primary to a conservative and then loyally fight for the party in November while denouncing the demrats. What do you say more or less likely that will ever happen than:

A)Me winning the lotto?

B)Without buying a ticket?

C)Adriana Lima having your child?

D)The Easter bunny having Santy Claus' child?

E)Klingon's invade France?

BTW Spellcheck knows Klingon but not Obama.
