Saying that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin "scares the hell out of me," former New York Mayor Ed Koch endorsed fellow Democrat Barack Obama on Tuesday.

Koch, who was mayor of New York from 1977 to 1989, said he has concluded that the country would be safer in the hands of Obama and running mate Joe Biden than presidential candidate John McCain and Palin.

"Protecting and defending the U.S. means more than defending us from foreign attacks," Koch said, citing such concerns as civil liberties, abortion rights, gay rights and access to health insurance.

"It's Palin primarily," he said. "She scares the hell out of me."

2. Yet 4 additional years of Bush didn't scare him...

..didn't he endorse Bush over Kerry in 04? Not that anyone really cares or cared what he thinks or thought, but still.

3. Whatever Koch's past I'm glad he has said that palin scares him!

That statement might get a few repubs to re-examine her.
