McClatchy Washington Bureau | 05/30/2008 | Former Bush donors now giving to Obama's campaign

A McClatchy Newspaper's analysis has found that hundreds of people who gave at least $200 to Bush's 2004 campaign have donated to the Obama campaign.

These are the kinds of reasons cited:

  • Moderate Republicans who are disatisfied with the direction of the country.
  • Economic conservatives who are dissatisfired with the direction of their PARTY.
  • Concern about the war.
  • Concerned about the disintegration of our status and credibility in the world.
  • Concerned about division within the country.
  • Gult over having supported Bush.
  • Want to nudge Hillary aside.

The article says the the number of Bush donors who are now giving to Obama is not large, but the fact that they are WRITING CHECKS indicates some serious trouble for the GOP.

I think there are a lot of Republicans who have serious misgivings about where Bush and the GOP have led this country. I know for certain there are in my family. There are a lot who will either sit this election out, vote for the other side, or even write checks to the Obama campaign.
