The Ship's Going Down

There’s been even more mutiny on the Republican ship.

Harvard Law Professor Charles Fried – who has been one of the most prominent conservative thinkers in the country and served as Solicitor General of the United States under Reagan – announced that he’s cast his vote for Obama in an absentee ballot.

Fried also asked to be removed from several campaign-related committees on which he served and stated that his reason for voting Democrat was “the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis.”

Ouch!
