Republican and conservative support for Barack Obama in 2008
United States President Barack Obama, a member of the Democratic Party, was endorsed or supported by some members of the Republican Party and by some political figures holding conservative views in the 2008 election. Republican and conservative Obama supporters were often referred to as "Obama Republicans", "Obamacans" or "Obamacons".〔(CNN.com CNN Transcripts ), McCain, Obama Sweep Potomac Primaries〕
Republican and conservative supporters of Obama included elected officials, former elected officials, academics, commentators, and retired military officers. According to exit polls on Election Day, 9% of those who identified themselves as Republicans voted for Barack Obama,〔(Pew Research Center Publications (Nov. 5, 2008) "Inside Obama's Sweeping Victory" )〕 up slightly from the 6% of self-identified Republicans who voted for John Kerry in 2004.〔(CNN Exit Poll - U.S. President, 2004 )〕
==Etymology of "Obama Republican"==
On February 12, 2008, Barack Obama mentioned Obama Republicans in his Potomac primary victory speech: "We are bringing together Democrats and independents, and yes, some Republicans. I know there's—I meet them when I'm shaking hands afterwards. There's one right there. An Obamacan, that's what we call them." In another speech, he said, "We, as Democrats right now, should tap into the discontent of Republicans. I want some Obama Republicans!" In his call for Republican votes, Obama referred to Ronald Reagan, who he says "was able to tap into the discontent of the American people...to get Democrats to vote Republican— they were called Reagan Democrats."
