The endorsement bandwagon continues for Barack Obama. This time it's a Republican, sort of, former Illinois Governor George H. Ryan, who is now incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institute in Terre Haute.I called Ryan last night, and he dropped the bombshell on me. He explained, "You know, conservatives always called my a RINO, a Republican-in-name-only, and I guess they're right."
Ryan added, "Since my imprisonment, I've realized that not only am I not a Republican, but I think the time is now for 'Change we can believe in.'"
More from the ex-governor: "That's why I'm for Obama. Plus, I'm only making pennies an hour here, and perhaps Obama can get me a raise."
