William Weld Backs Barack Obama and...

William Weld, a Republican, was the 68th governor of Massachusetts and was in office from January 1991 until mid-July 1997. He resigned the governorship when he was appointed as the Ambassador to Mexico by Bill Clinton.

...On October 25, the Anchorage Daily News endorsed Barack Obama for president. This is very significant because Sara Palin is the governor of Alaska.

The Anchorage Daily News spoke highly of their governor but felt that "despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command..." In regards to John McCain, the Anchorage Daily News cited his erratic behavior in this crisis and stated that he is now embracing "the extreme Republican orthodoxy he once resisted and cynically asks Americans to buy for another four years."
