More Ship Jumpers

The Politico reports another prominent Republican has jumped ship and thrown his support behind the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama.
Former Sen. Larry Pressler (R-S.D.), who was the first Vietnam veteran to serve in the United States Senate, is the latest Republican to back Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign, Politico learned Sunday.
Little by little all that's left are the wing nuts basking in the Republican Fantasy World sun with not a cloud in the sky. Interesting to note is what Sen. Pressler says about his Party's current status.
"We have to be a moderate party. We can't be for all these foreign military adventures. We have to stop spending so much money. My God, the deficit is so high!" he said. "The Republican Party I knew in the 1970s is just all gone."
