On Monday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Julie Chen introduced a new campaign segment: "...throughout this morning, we're bringing you the voices of Americans and what they're thinking as they prepare to vote."
In the brief video clip that followed, Colorado Springs City Council member Jan Martin Described herself as a "lifelong Republican" explained: "I think we are at a place and a point in time where hope and unity are two things that this country needs more than anything."
The only problem is that Jan Martin was similarly touted by the New York Times in early October, at which point, NewsBusters’ P.J. Gladnick discovered that she was a member of the Colorado Springs chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and Colorado’s Gay and Lesbian Fund.
In the Early Show segment Martin worried: " There's an uncertainty of what it will mean to my future political career, but I really believe that this election was too important not to -- not to take a stand."

ABC has preempted “Jeopardy” for a pro-Obama infomercial (disguised as “news”).
Pfftt!

It amazes me that this transparent charade, which has been pulled so many times, is still even tried, much less with any success. geez. Liberal whores and scoundrels need a new toy to play with.

Another one of those pesky, “lifelong Republicans” who “voted for Bush twice and has a son in Iraq.” Jan Martin! YOU are full of ——!

Obama was pro-life his whole life. Until he was born, that is.

the funny part isn’t the lifelong republican voting for obama, but the person who they say is voting for mccain. The person who is voting for mccain repeats democrats talking point about how obama tax plan is x3 better than mccain, but she’s still voting for mccain

Anyone who trusts network news is an idiot. They get their stories fed to them by the DNC. Does anyone think they went out and “found” this woman on their own? Nope. She was fed to them by the democrats. CBS is in the bad. On the take. Being played. Easy. Liars.

Fully agreed on the stupid part, but the LeftMedia would have absolutely NO INTEREST in a “typical Obama voter” switching over to the Republicans.
