While not a total surprise given the in depth and informative interview he had with Senator Obama, Fareed Zakaria just announced on his CNN show that he will be voting for Senator Barack Obama.
Zakariah is just one more in a long line of Conservatives who has switched allegiances to support the Senator from Illinois saying that Obama shows the wisdom and temperament needed for our times.
While I do not always agree with Zakaria, his show, Fareed Zakaria GPS, has conducted some of the best and most informative interviews on TV today. He has talked to world leaders of all stripes and does not hesitate to ask the hard questions. And he sticks to policy issues, avoiding the tabloid garbage that so many others obsess over.
Will Zakaria's endorsement make a difference? Probably not with oe Six Pack or Joe the Plumber. But intelligent and disenfranchised and disappointed Conservatives and Independence will likely see some validity in Zakaria's opinion.
I will post video ASAP.
For those who did not see it, here are the videos of Zakaria's original interview with Obama. No surprise that he endorsed the Seantor after such an incredible exchange.
