McCain's N.H. Leadership Chairman Endorses Obama! -- Sinking Ship
CONCORD, N.H. A prominent New Hampshire Republican is getting off the Straight Talk Express and hopping on the Obama bandwagon.

Fred Bramante has stepped down from John McCain’s New Hampshire Leadership Committee to endorse Barack Obama. The former chairman and current member of the state Board of Education said he opposes McCain’s support of school vouchers, which would give parents taxpayer money to offset the cost of private schooling. Bramante said politicians must abandon the voucher idea if they want to improve education.

Bramante said he’s concluded McCain would do little to improve education, while Obama supports new and innovative ideas.

Bramante was co-chairman of Mike Huckabee’s New Hampshire presidential campaign and joined McCain after Huckabee dropped out of the race. He also was a delegate to the national GOP convention.

15. Wel,, not really
Fred was a teacher about 30 years ago. He got out of teaching when his chain of musical instrument stores, Daddy's Junky Music, took off.
