Update: 

Here is a small list of other prominent republicans that have chosen to endorse Barack Obama over John McCain:

Former Republican Governor of Massachusetts William Weld

Former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee

Former Republican Governor of Minnesota Arne Carlson

Former Iowa Congressman Jim Leach
