Freshman Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL), representing the western suburbs of Chicago, is backing John McCain for president, but he is nonetheless reaching out to potential Obama supporters for their vote. Roskam's campaign has launched a web site called "ObamaVotersForRoskam.com," reports the Chicago Sun-Times.
Roskam's spokesman said the Web site was appropriate because 30 percent of Roskam supporters are voting for Obama.
Roskam's not the only Republican hoping to boost support among the throngs of Obama supporters. Sen. Roger Wicker, running in the special election in Mississippi to fill the remaining four years of Trent Lott's term, has run radio ads that feature Obama supporters who say they're voting for Wicker rather than Democratic candidate Ronnie Musgrove.
"On numerous occasions, Wicker has lambasted Obama, an Illinois senator," the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal writes. "But Wicker is still courting Obama supporters." |
