Scott McClellan served President Bush in Texas, as a spokesman for the governor. He served him in his election and reelection campaigns. And he served as White House press secretary.
McClellan also published a post-White House book voicing deep disenchantment with the Bush White House, What Happened -- an account of an administration bent on selling the public on the war in Iraq regardless of the facts supporting it.
And now McClellan has a new candidate for the White House: Barack Obama.
On today's The Situation Room on CNN, a clip was aired for the debut of D.L. Hughley Breaks the News on Saturday at 10 pm. That's where McClellan spills his Obama beans. An extended interview with McClellan airs tomorrow night, Friday on Larry King Live
In the interview, McClellan explains that, from the start, he said he would support the candidate most likely to change the way Washington works. He is voting for Obama.

Perhaps Scott needs a job?

This is good - but this election is not over. We need not become complacent. Every news cycle brings new anxiety. This is the most important election in my AARP Life. ...............

All of these Republican water-carriers who faithfully parroted every lunacy and vicious Bush/Cheney lie of the last eight years are seeing their Propaganda Factory shut down and put out of business. They can't control the national conversation anymore, so they're all angling to be considered "one of the good ones" in the post-conservative era. I also look for a lot of these guys to start avoiding Fixed News Channel like the plague the next few years as they seek to rehab their reputations.
The Wingnuts are seeing their 90's power grap being yanked away from them because of their own incompetence and they're throwing a tantrum. After controlling the white house for the last eight years and controlling congress for ten of the last twelve years they've proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that conservatism is a failed ideology and now they're panicking.
Here's some straight-talk, my friends:

I'm pleased that McClellan has seen the light, but that doesn't absolve him for his years serving the forces of darkness.

I think Scott is sincere. A least he has grown from his experiences unlike people who cling to their party come hell or high water.

Does the name Brutus ring a bell?. Or perhaps Judas would be better.

I don't know if McClellan's endorsement will really matter -- he's no Colin Powell: http://www.entertonement.com/clips/35453/I-will-be-voting-for-Barack-Obama
