The Democratic convention delegate and Clinton supporter who appears in the latest McCain ad saying she’ll vote for the Republican, Debra Bartoshevich, has been kicked out of the convention.
Debra Bartoshevich is persona non grata at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, now that the former delegate from Wisconsin is the star of an ad in which she proclaims her support for presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.
In the TV ad, sponsored by the McCain campaign, Bartoshevich explains that while she was a “proud Hillary Clinton Democrat,” she is unhappy that Democrats are putting Sen. Barack Obama at the top of their ticket.
Bartoshevich says she is preparing to vote for a Republican for the “first” time because she respects McCain’s “maverick and independent streak.”
The ad concludes with Bartoshevich saying that with Clinton out of the race, “now (McCain is) the one with the experience and judgment.”
“A lot of Democrats will vote McCain,” Bartoshevich says at the end of the advertisement. “It’s okay — really.”
Bartoshevich’s move has led to her ouster as one of Wisconsin’s delegates at the Democratic National Convention. But maybe she’ll find friends at a “Happy Hour for Hillary” in downtown Denver tonight.
The reception is being hosted by the Republican National Committee tonight, just a few blocks from the Democratic National Convention.

My thoughts exactly.
I came to this realization right after Fred flamed out.
Well, maybe "flamed" isn't exactly the right word, but it was back then.
You can come down for supper when your tantrum is over, and you’re ready to apologize.
Wipe your chin.
Yeah. We're gonna get REAL conservative appointments out of McCain.
Sure we are!
Quote: “Besides the “to stop the Dem”, nobody’s ever given me a good reason to vote for McCain.”
Ok, how about to stop a communist?
Okay. Since you're a Fredhead, listen to Fred. There's one reason.
Also, McCain is pro life (unlike his opponent).
He's strong on national defense(unlike his opponent).
He's got a lot of experience (unlike his opponent).
He's served in the military (unlike either man on the opposing ticket).
Although he's not much to listen to, he doesn't stammer and hem and haw as much as his empty suit opponent.
I think that Fred kind of snored out.
Nothing to contribute to the debate so fall back on insults huh?
What a dunce.
On Meet the Press on April 11, he said, "We need Joe Biden for Secretary of State." When an astonished Tim Russert asked, "Is that an offer by President McCain?". McCain replied, "Absolutely!"
Well, if McCain puts Hillary on the Republican ticket, I'm sure Ms. Bartoshevich will be pleased.
Big tent - Just win, baby. /s
Getting your talking point from Michael Savage?
Come on. Your tag line says you are a Fredhead - well so are many of us. But unlike you, - Fred and us will be watching the RNC convention next month excited about a Republican win in November.
So, in other words, when you said nobody had given you a single reason to vote for McCain, you were lying. Yes? You’ve heard many, many reasons. But your mind is already made up.
So how about at least being honest about it? That might help sell your “standing on principle” argument, which right now ain’t lookin’ too hot.
Apparently, it is. I counted 10 "I's", "my's" and "me's" in your post.
Novel concept ... change the party from within. Quit whining and get off your bum. Get involved. Do what YOU can to move the party in your direction.
Instead, you're going to take your vote and go home and do what you can to ensure McCain's defeat and Obama's election. And that is pretty remarkable.
It's idiocy to fight the bad guys at the front door while leaving the back door and windows wide open, ala immigration.
They really aren't defending the country as long as the borders are wide open.
Compared to Obama, Hitlery, Julie, or Suckabie, no question. Ron Paul might give us better, but one has to get elected to appoint judges.
LOL!
You guys and gals go take your McCain idol and vote for him.
I'll vote my values and I'll talk to yas after his first term with my list of I-told-you-so's prepared.
I'm here to tell yas right now. There's NO difference between Mr. Gang-of-Fourteen leader and the guy he's running against!!!
Bye
Understandable why she got booted. Its a good ad.
Ask yourself if Fred would want you wasting your vote just to stroke your own ego.
Is that your way of admitting you lied? Or were you simply confused?
Either way, thanks.
here’s one, SCOTUS appointments.
Talk about spitting liquid over the keyboard! Great line!
