In an interview two months ago, however, Monica Green listed Ronald Reagan as the last Republican President with whom she ?identified? and, asked whether she'd vote for Reagan if he were running against Barack Obama today, she equivocated as she implied Reagan was too anti-communist: ?You mean if he was running against Obama today? Oh my goodness. That's a good question...His views on communism were probably not the view I would appreciate today. I've got a much more global perspective today, and Obama touches that.? Mitchell and NBC producers hardly stumbled upon Green by accident since the official Barack Obama campaign site features a video of Green as one of its ?Republicans for Barack.? In the NBC story, Mitchell cued up Green to explain how she rationalizes to her kids her party change: ?In the beginning, they would call me and say, 'Who are you? You raised us to be Republicans. I don't understand.' And I just keep saying, 'Look at the problems in the world, and look at who you think is going to be able to solve these problems?'? NewsBusters |

The fact a black man is about to win a caucus in a state that is majority white is a great thing in america. That is really shown in the fact he has gotten multiple republicans caucusing for him. It doesn't matter if it was by accident NBC found this person, the fact is multiple republicans like the man. |

| jtjt225m | Posted – 1/3/2008 11:20:54 PM | show profile This is 2008, not 1984/88, right? Well, its 20 years later, and we are supposed to be a better nation now, so that's how great it is now. Jesse Jackson paved the way for Obama today. I mean I don't think Jackson won a state like Iowa, did he? Especially with the fact he was taking on the Clinton machine. Also, if those people who were life long republicans didn't want to be on TV, then they should have enough balls to turn the interview down. I wouldn't put everything on the media, that is way to easy to do. |

| carlkparsons | Posted – 1/4/2008 1:56:19 PM | show profile Why didn't we ever hear this headline....? Lifelong Democrat Becomes Bush Supporter... Elected democrats at that...I'm talking about Former New York Mayor Ed Koch or Former Senator Zell Miller... How about Ron Silvers? You know, it seems you always have to hear headlines when supposed Republicans support a democrat, but never much about the reverse. Electoral rivers run both ways, folks... |
