A prominent New Hampshire Republican is getting off the Straight Talk Express and hopping on the Obama bandwagon.
Fred Bramante has stepped down from John McCain’s New Hampshire Leadership Committee to endorse Barack Obama. The former chairman and current member of the state Board of Education said he opposes McCain’s support of school vouchers, which would give parents taxpayer money to offset the cost of private schooling. Bramante said politicians must abandon the voucher idea if they want to improve education.

Obscure RINO endorses Obama, giving the media an excuse to manufacture another pro-Obama story.
This guy apparently prefers mandatory Socialist Indoctrination Facilities over real education.
Sounds like blackmail.
Better title :-)
Oxymoron...
This “prominent” RINO should check out Connecticut were they’re already practicing Obama style eduction. It’s interesting that they’re starting to pay kids to go to private school or be home schooled.
Of course. Everyone knows that increasing union teacher benefit packages is the key to improving education.
I’m not buying all these supposed Pubbies jumping ship. They never were Republican if the choose now, of all times, to vote for a Dummie.
They probably have voted Democrat all along. They give RINO a whole new meaning. One can’t have been a true Republican, philosopically, and then support the ideas of Obama. I say BS to all this.
(Bramante said politicians must abandon the voucher idea if they want to improve education.
Bramante said he’s concluded McCain would do little to improve education, while Obama supports new and innovative ideas.
Bramante was co-chairman of Mike Huckabee’s New Hampshire presidential campaign)
So much info in so little space! “Obama supports new and innovative ideas”...like the current public educational system! Meanwhile, the guy is actually rejecting new and innovative ideas represented by school vouchers! It seems that it’s another guy in the tank with the Teachers’ Union. Good riddance. The fact that he was playing such a prominent role in Huckabee’s candidacy says much about Huckabee. Bye you jerk, don’t let the door hit you in the fanny. We don’t need any more like you who endorse letting poor kids stay imprisoned in crappy public schools!
Yes, but the liberal media is and will be running with it anyways. The AP is already carrying the story to the other major media organs who in turn will treat it as front page news.
They aren't "new and innovative" if the guy knew anything about life behind the Iron Curtain or Islamic nations.
This must get Bill Ayers' fantasies about the Secretary of Education job going.
And operation “Wheat From Chaff” continues.
Bramante is a RINO stooge of the teachers unions who supports a state income tax. I guarantee you he will vote for Jeanne Shaheen (The Taxing Machine) for Senator as well. Good riddance.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
I am a prominent Democrat and I have switched to McCain. I am holding a press conference right now on the front porch of my house and I am awaiting the first question from the press.
chirp, chirp, chirp,...
