Former Massachusetts Governor William Weld, a Republican, announced this morning his support for the Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama.

Weld’s endorsement comes a day after former Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan and the former Governor of Minnesota Arne Carlson, also a Republican, announced their support - separately - of Obama’s candidacy.

In a statement Weld said, “Sen. Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America’s standing in the world.”
