Whatever it takes to keep both candidates in the race, I guess...

WASHINGTON — One of President Nixon’s daughters, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, apparently supports a Democrat in this year’s presidential contest — Barack Obama. Eisenhower has contributed the maximum amount allowed during the primary season to Obama’s campaign: $2,300. Federal Election Commission records show she gave Obama’s campaign $1,000 on Feb. 4, another $1,000 on Feb. 18 and $300 on March 5. One of her father’s staunchest defenders during the Watergate scandal, she married the grandson of another Republican president, David Eisenhower, just before her father took office. Since her father’s resignation, she has written several books and is now co-chair of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Birthplace Foundation.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
The ghost of Milhous.
Shows you what a “little” college leftist liberalism is doing to the younger set.
Nixon was a Rockefeller Republican anyway.
This is surprising since I thought Julie was a strong Republican, who loved America. Maybe not.
“Shows you what a “little” college leftist liberalism is doing to the younger set.”
Let’s keep facts out of this.
I’d really like to know her reasoning. It doesn’t make sense.
“Younger set?” Julie Nixon Eisenhower will be 60 on July 5th.

LOL. I turn 50 in less than a month. I’m part of the toddler set.
Since my Father served under Eisenhower, Is this supposed to influence me? “Well, Gee”! If that Marxist creep is good enough for Julie, he’s most certainly good enough for me”!
I honestly can’t see ANYONE voting for that guy because Julie backs him. Old, senile people?
Cool name: Julie Nixon Eisenhower! That would open few doors for ya!
C’mon. We have a democrat and two socialists running for president. Oh, yeah and Ralphy. It reads like a bad joke.
Whatever it takes to keep both candidates in the race, I guess...
Bothers me too.
My theory is that like her father, Julie thinks of herself as a practitioner of "Realpolitik," which is defined by thefreedictionary.com as
politics based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations
Adopting "Realpolitik" enabled Richard Nixon to turn from being the fierce anti-communist of the '50s, to becoming a promoter of "detente" with the Soviet Union and a friend to communist China in the '70s.
“Let’s Win This One For Dick”
Like father, like daughter. Daddy was a liberal, a big government guy, so why shouldn’t she support Obama? Who cares?
“She probably hates Hilary because of Watergate.”
