Former governor William Weld (RINO-MA) throws support behind Barack Obama
The Boston Herald ^ | October 25, 2008

Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president yesterday, citing Obama’s “deep sense of calm” and “first-class political temperament.”

Weld, a Republican, said he has never endorsed a Democrat for president before, but in the last six weeks or so, it became “close to a no-brainer.” Obama has a history of bringing Democrats, Republicans and independents together and is the best choice at a time when America’s standing in the world is at a low point, he said.

“It’s not often you get a guy with his combination of qualities, chief among which I would say is the deep sense of calm he displays, and I think that’s a product of his equally deep intelligence,” he said.

Weld should make sure the door is closed and locked as walks out on the Republican party.

He’s not even a RINO He’s a Democrat infiltrator.

I like that...Vichy Republicans as opposed to RINO’s.

We should start addressing them as VR’s in public.

So: this is what it means to be a Republican Governor of Massachusetts?

Funny thing is, Weld and Romney were pretty much identical until Romney chose to run for President. Which is why I never could accept Romney as a candidate. No one changes that much so quickly.

I never like Weld. I voted for John Silber in the 1990 gov. election. He is a shmuck. Not to mention waist deep in the Whitey Bulger/Boston FBI fiasco.
