Odd endorsements

[Mercutio]

I was wondering about some of the less-expected endorsements that the candidates are getting. My interest was piqued when New Hampshire's own Bob Smith, an extremely conservative Republican (now living in Florida), came out for Kerry.

Story Here.

Forget pigs, it turns out elephants can fly.

Former U.S. senator Bob Smith, who's waved a plastic fetus to protest abortion and briefly left the GOP when it grew too liberal for him, has endorsed . . . Democratic Sen. John Kerry for president. Given their many differences, it seems enough that they both oppose President Bush.

"I believe President Bush had failed our country and my party (on Iraq and federal spending)," Smith wrote to Kerry this week. "I will do all I can do to encourage my friends in New Hampshire and Florida to join me in supporting you."

Most of the article (in a very conservative paper) is a lesson in sour grapes.

With a world full of nutcases, there's a lot to be said for in-fighting!
