One thing to keep in mind regarding the late break toward Obama among moderate/liberal Republicans is that there's a decent chance, in order to create the appearance that he's interested in bipartisanship, a President Obama would make a few token Republican appointments. So it doesn't surprise me that some of these wobbly Republicans would defect in the closing stages of the campaign given that Obama is the overwhelming favorite and they'd like to get on his good side. I'd take them more seriously were they to have endorsed Obama, say, six weeks ago, when there were serious doubts about his chances.
