William Ruckelshaus endorses Obama

Republican William Ruckelshaus has endorsed Obama, according to CNN

As many of you would know, Ruckelshaus was fired in the Saturday Night Massacre during the Watergate investigation for refusing Nixon's order to replace the independent counsel.

Just think it's another kudo for Obama...it's great when high-profile Republicans "get" the urgency of the current situation.

"Senator Obama’s ability to attract not only Democrats, but also Republicans and Independents, makes him uniquely qualified to build the broad coalitions needed to address our nation’s challenges," said Ruckelshaus in a statement.
