The prototypal Obamacon may be Larry Hunter, recognized inside the
Beltway as an ardent supply-sider. When it became known recently that
Hunter supports Obama, fellow conservatives were stunned. Hunter was
fired as U.S. Chamber of Commerce chief economist in 1993 when he would not swallow Clinton administration policy, and he later joined Jack Kemp
at Empower America (ghostwriting Kemp's column). Explaining his support
for the uncompromisingly liberal Obama, Hunter blogged on June 6: "The
Republican Party is a dead rotting carcass with a few decrepit old
leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of 'Weekend
With Bernie,' handcuffed to a corpse."
