The list of Republicans coming out for Obama is growing. Colin Powell, Ken Adelman, Arne Carlson, William Weld and now distinguished conservative intellectual Charles Fried. Charles Fried served as solicitor general during Reagan's second term and is currently a law professor at Harvard and until just recently was a member of the McCain campaign. Unlike the Colin Powell endorsement, Fried's endorsement is unlikely to change voter's minds but it is a signal of Obama's appeal and a Republican party in distress.
The Weld endorsement is also making news as an important endorsement for Obama.
