GRAND RAPIDS -- He endorsed John McCain in the presidential primary, but now former Republican Gov. William Milliken is expressing doubts about his party's nominee.
"He is not the McCain I endorsed," said Milliken, reached at his Traverse City home Thursday. "I would ask the question, 'Who is John McCain?' because his campaign has become rather disappointing to me.
"I'm disappointed in the tenor and the personal attacks on the part of the McCain campaign, when he ought to be talking about the issues."
Milliken, a lifelong Republican, is among some past Republican leaders voicing reservations and, in some cases, opposition to McCain's candidacy.
During a stop in Grand Rapids on Thursday, Lincoln Chafee, a former Republican U.S. senator from Rhode Island, said he's voting for Obama and urging others to do likewise.
McCain campaigned for Chafee's unsuccessful re-election bid in 2006, but Chafee said he is concerned McCain has swung to the right, a divisive strategy that could make it difficult for him to govern.
"That's not my kind of Republicanism," said Chafee, who now calls himself an independent. "I saw what Bush and Cheney did. They came in with a (budget) surplus and a stable world, and look what's happened now. In eight short years they've taken one peaceful and prosperous world, and they've torn it into tatters."
As for McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for his running mate, "there's no question she's totally unqualified," Chafee said.
Chafee said he has spoken with several other moderate Republican leaders, and "there are a whole lot of us deserting."
One of them is Phil Arthurhultz, a former Republican state senator from Whitehall, who was traveling the state with Chafee to drum up support for Obama.
Bob Eleveld is a former Kent County Republican chairman who led McCain's West Michigan campaign in 2000. This year, he has remained mum unless asked.
"I'm not supporting either of them at this point," he said. "Suffice it to say there are a number of people who have been strong Republicans in the past, including party chairs, who feel as I do."
He declined to name them.
In the past, McCain was more of a moderate known for his straight talk, Eleveld said.
"I think the straight talk is gone," he said, describing himself as a member of the party's moderate wing. "I think he's pandering to the far- right. That's some straight talk from me."
Whether they represent a widespread movement or a few disenchanted members in the Republican Party is unclear.

If elected, john mccain would be the oldest first term president in the history of the united states. This isn't inherently bad, except for the fact that john mccain has had repeated bouts of cancer and is quite possibly exhibiting signs of early onset alzheimers and dementia. Given what is known of john mccains health history its altogether reasonable to question his ability to fully serve as commander in chief. According to a panel of over 30,000 doctors he might currently have a type of melanoma that has a survival rate of less than 2 years. We, the voting public, need to know the state of john mccains health and fitness, both physically and mentally, in order to consider voting for him. The problem is that john mccain is unwilling to release any of his health records. He has over 1,000 pages of medical records that are currently under lock and key, and that he won't release to the public or the media. If senator mccain is fit to serve as commander in chief he would then have no reason to hide his medical records. If he wants to prove to the american people that he is mentally and physically fit he should release his health records immediately. According to medical actuarial tables and given john mccains history of health problems there is a 25% chance that he's suffering from early onset alzheimers, and a 50% chance that he wouldn't actually be able to serve his entire first term. If he releases his medical records he'll be able to show whether the public should or should not be concerned about his physical and mental well-being. Please forward this on in order to pressure the media and the mccain campaign to release john mccains health records. Thanks, Moby
