Obama Picks Up Endorsements from McClellan, Goldwater Granddaughter
-------------------------------------------------------------------



Obama,meanwhile, has picked up the endorsement of another former Bush
administration official. Days after former Secretary of State Colin
Powell gave his backing, former White House Press Secretary Scott Mc
Clellan told CNN’s D.L. Hughley he’ll also be voting for Obama.

Scott Mc Clellan: “From the very beginning, I’ve said I’m going to
support the candidate that has the best chance of changing the way
Washington works and getting things done. I will be voting for Barack
Obama.”

Earlier this year, Mc Clellan broke ranks and criticized the White House
over the war in Iraq, the handling of Hurricane Katrina, and the leak of
CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. Obama received another
Republican endorsement Thursday from CC Goldwater, the granddaughter of
former Republican senator and presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.
