Mystery writers are a mixed bag. John Grisham is a pretty reliable Democrat -- he donated $25,000 to the DNC this year, and has supported Bill Bradley in the past. Sara Paretsky is a big donor to Barack Obama's campaign for the Senate from Illinois, and Ayelet Waldman has made contributions to MoveOn.org, EMILY's List, Howard Dean and John Kerry. Richard North Patterson has given to the campaigns of Democrats Tom Daschle, Ron Kirk and Blanche Lincoln, and Stuart Woods has supported Democrat Tom Udall. Elmore Leonard has contributed to Sen. Carl Levin's campaign. Levin, from Michigan, is one of the most powerful Democrats in the Senate

Just because a celebrate donates to one party or the other doesn't make them a member.

Fred Smith (Fed Ex) and Pitt Hyde (Auto Zone) are Donors to Harold Ford Jr.'s Dem senate campaign and yet are co-hosting a fund raiser for Bob Corker, Jr's opponent.

I guess that because the President will be attending they thought that it might be good for business. (Theirs)

Well would you look at this! We've got more self-declared "ex-Republicans" coming out of the woodwork.

I suspect that Stephen King and John Grishom were as much "republican" as Joe Wilson ever was.

Beyond their political persuasion, their books are HORRIBLE.
