CONCORD, N.H.: A prominent New Hampshire Republican who was an alternate delegate to the party's nominating convention is quitting John McCain's campaign and endorsing Barack Obama.

Fred Bramante says he is resigning as a member of McCain's New Hampshire Leadership Committee. He had been a co-chairman of Mike Huckabee's New Hampshire presidential campaign and joined McCain after the former Arkansas governor dropped out of the race.

Bramante, a member of the state Board of Education, said he opposes McCain's support of school vouchers, which he said politicians must abandon if they want to improve education.

Bramante said he's concluded that McCain would do little to improve education, while Obama supports new and innovative ideas




Rats deserting a sinking ship! Who ever heard of someone changing their support this late in the game?
Gangway! I'm outta here....

Was that your idea of Republican dirty trick to change the story without comment?
Typical.

if Barrack wins, i hope Michelle Rhee becomes the Secretary of Education, turns the system on its head and we finally see a vast improvement in our education system. imo, this is the most important issue for the leader of any country.

Obama publicly supported Michelle Rhee at the third debate and if you think the teachers unions are fans of Rhee you are dead wrong.

Rhee herself, IMO, was not the reason she has done better then others in the same job before her. Its that she has total control and does not have to ask or answer to anybody. People before her may have done as good or even better job but their hands were tied. She got the mayor to kill the power of the school board and made her judge and jury over the full system.
Like the old saying goes, to many cooks in the kitchen.

As head of eduaction that person would not have that power and would be held back by the same rules as before. Unless education standards and controls were ALL under federal control it will not matter.

Not trying to take anything away from what she has done, but you have to look at the full picture.
