ArchPundit — CNN: “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 and New York. I’m pretty sure that last paragraph defines ...

Major Hillary Supporter to Endorse McCain
Tammy Bruce — ... Lynn Forester de Rothschild, having the courage to do what Ferraro did not This is excellent news and is another permission slip for Democrats and feminists everywhere to vote for McCain/Palin. It is also an indication of how deep the defections go inside the Democrat party. If someone as prominent as Forester is not only endorsing McCain/Palin but willing to campaign for them, Barry has what is probably a fatal defection flaw throughout the base. Prominent Clinton backer and DNC member to endorse McCain Lynn Forester de ...

Rothschilds Against Elitism
Matthew Yglesias — Irony truly is dead as Lynn Forester de Rothschild endorses John McCain on anti-elitism grounds: “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.

Blackazoid’s Folly
pandagon.net - we are the public option — by Jesse Taylor Some lady that I’ve never heard of and couldn’t care less about is supporting John McCain after months of supporting John McCain.  McCain, having won the support of the rich woman caricature from an August 1965 edition of the New Yorker, is also mocking Obama for attending an expensive fundraiser with rich people.  It differs from McCain’s expensive fundraiser with rich people because Obama is disrespectful, presumptuous, and due to his peculiar background had a ton more big ...

Wick Allison Endorses Obama...In Other News, Squirrel Learns to Water Ski

Joe Lieberman, the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee, was a keynoter at the Republican convention. I have no personal animus or relationship with Wick Allison, but his endorsement of Obama really means next to nothing in the grand scheme of things. Indeed, Lynn Forester de Rothschild's endorsement of McCain is a much bigger deal by comparison and even that is not big deal in ...
