Republican Congressman Endorses Obama

Wayne Gilchrest, a Republican congressman from Maryland, has endorsed Obama-Biden, saying:

My perspective is that the ticket is Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden that they have the breadth of experience, I think they are prudent, they are knowledgeable. We just can’t use four more years of the same kind of policy that’s somewhat hazardous which leads to recklessness.

Gilchrest, who has opposed the war in Iraq, lost his primary bid this year in the Republican primary.
