Former Mass. Gov. William Weld (R) to endorse Obama

But that makes sense then right? I mean, Cesca's been documenting all the black republicans that have been endorsing Obama 'cause they're black too, and since William Weld is black.... oh nevermind.

Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, a Republican, is endorsing Democrat Barack Obama for president in New Hampshire.

In a statement released Friday, Weld cites the Illinois senator's steady leadership, good judgment and ability to unify Democrats, Republicans and independents. He said Obama "is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America's standing in the world."

Weld plans a news conference at Obama's campaign office in Salem at 11 a.m.

PS- Weld endorsed Romney in the R primary.
