Charles Mathias, Latest Republican to Endorse Obama
As the world’s most discussed presidential campaign is close to ending, American politicians start expressing their preferences.
The Republicans, for example, seem to go in favour of Senator Barack Obama. Following the example of Colin Powell (the former Secretary of State), are William Weld (former Massachusetts Governor), Scott McClellan (former Bush press secretary) and the latest, Charles Mathias (former Senator of Maryland).
The above mentioned politicians have different reasons for endorsing Obama; some dislike the thought of having Sarah Palin as vice-president, others mention America’s economy, and the true American spirit, which seems to have been lost during Bush’s mandate.
Polls done since this campaign has started show that so many Americans have not considered economy and financial issues as extremely important in the election since 1996, and that Republicans focused their attention on terrorism and moral values issues.
On the other side of the barricade is McCain who flashes a list with the names of his Republican supporters and the 200 retired Army generals.
These endorsements do well for their campaigns, but they do not guarantee their success; it all depends on the American citizens who will attend the voting stations on the 4th of November.
