BREAKING: Prominent Hillary backer Rothschild to endorse McCain
CNN via Hillary Clinton Forum ^ | 9-16-08 | CNN

From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.

The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee.

Forester was a major donor for Clinton earning her the title as a Hillraiser for helping to raise at least $100,000 for the New York Democratic senator’s failed presidential bid.

In an interview with CNN this summer, Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London

John McCain was in the Mahoning Valley (Ohio, think RustBelt) today. He told the 7,000 (yes, 7,000!) 'he wouldn't want to be anyplace else today...'

I don't think solidifying the 'base' in Ohio is a bad thing...

LOL, I guess Obama didn't give the Clintons what they wanted last week when he did lunch with Bill while McCain was visiting the 9/11 crash site in western Pennsylvania. What a moron!

Forgive me for being ignorant of who this person is, but, what is the significance in this endorsement ? and how will this help McCain/Palin win ?
Is it money ? recognition ?
And if Hillary did give the green light for this ? does this tell us that Biden won't be dropped from the ticket and Hillary be put in his place ?
So in other words ? Hillary is going to let Obama flop in the wind.

I've never seen anyone who wanted to lose as much as Obama.
Kennedy stomached LBJ.
Obama doesn't have the kind of intestinal fortitude that a winner needs..

Thank goodness.

"You know she wouldn't do this without the Clinton okay, so basically Hillary is giving her endorsement by proxy. "

Most perceptive so far. Good one.

Proof the Clinton's have abandoned B. Hussein bin Biden.

What did The Toon tell L' Obotoma in that meeting?

dennis prager today played parts of baba waters’ trip to syria.

ick! why do liberal-socialists think that is a good country?

the nyt sunday mag did a feature on mr and mrs assad a while ago, making them into hollywood movie stars alike.

anyway, baba said she felt “so safe” on the streets of damascus!

prager retort: totalitarian streets are always safe!
