I am a lousy typist which means I should be a great proof reader. I am not. Please forgive my typos.

That said I made an error in my Reason #26. I stated that Milton Friedman's son, David, had endorsed Obama. He hasn't although he believes Obama is better than McCain.

As I said in reason #26 many conservatives have endorsed Obama. There is even a name for them- Obamacons. Here are two more impressive ones.

Francis Fukuyama is a conservative philosopher and economist. He is currently a professor at Johns Hopkins. He was an advisor to Ronald Reagan, specifically was part of the brain trust that formulated the Reagan doctrine. During the past eight years he has become disillusioned with the Bush administration. In his endorsement of Obama, which you can read in The American Conservative, here:
Fukuyama said, "McCain’s appeal was always that he could think for himself, but as the campaign has progressed, he has seemed simply erratic and hotheaded. His choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate was highly irresponsible; we have suffered under the current president who entered office without much knowledge of the world and was easily captured by the wrong advisers. McCain’s lurching from Reaganite free- marketer to populist tribune makes one wonder whether he has any underlying principles at all. "

Great description of McCain!

Here is a second big name conservative who is endorsing Obama. Lawrence Eagleburger, a former Republican Secretary of State. At one time he was one of John McCain's strong supporters but he has withdrawn his endorsement, citing Palin as the major reason. You can read about it here:
Uhh--Sarah-that one less former Secretary of State who supports you.
