I'm guessing they're rolling these guys out to mute the impact of this Dem to Independent NJ mayor that came out for McCain yesterday. I like the way the Obama campaign always seems to have something in their pocket ready to go.
Former Iowa Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA) will be endorsing Sen. Barack Obama this morning, according to Radio Iowa.
"Leach, as you may recall, lost his bid for re-election in 2006 after three decades representing portions of eastern Iowa in congress. Leach was considered a "moderate" Republican and was a backer of campaign finance reform. Leach did not accept campaign contributions from political action committees."
On an Obama conference call this morning, Leach will be joined by other Republicans who are backing the Illinois senator.
