An unlikely Obama voter -

###

Strip expert Steve Freiss is stunned:

But the bit that stunned me was [casino magnate Steve] Wynn claiming he voted for Barack Obama in 2008.

We know that soon-to-be-ex-wife Elaine was gaga for Barry and that she forced Steve to socialize with the Obamas, where Wynn admitted to being charmed.

But is it not a bit of a surprise that in all the many, many rants that Wynn has made to me, to Jon Ralston, to whoever on Fox or CNBC flips on a camera for him, he has never once said this before?

He gave not a cent to Obama and the legal limit to John McCain — and gave the legal limit again for McCain’s 2010 Senate campaign, by the way — but he VOTED for Obama?

Wynn seems unlikely to do it again.

UPDATE: My ex-Vegas colleague Molly Ball points out that Wynn actually co-chaired the RNC’s efforts in the state in 2008.
