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. “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.”

Please forgive me it I posted this in the wrong forum. I have not posted an article in years and I have not had my coffee yet.

[Sacajaweau]

I think this was posted already.

[MissyMa]

Doh, that's what I was afraid of. I did a search using the word endorse and I didn't see anything.

This can be closed if it is a dupe.

Sorry.

I didn’t see the other post, so thanks for putting this up. She sure tells it like it is.

Interesting article! Great post! Plus early news on WBZ Boston, CBS, said Hillary is backing out of a joint appearance with Gov. Palin. (No doubt she’ll say she didn’t know the Gov. would really be there on the same stage.)

A member of the DNC! Amazing. I am surprised CNN is even covering this. Too big to hush up I suppose.

Any RNC members endorsing Obama yet? If that happened I suppose it would be even bigger news. These people who claim to be lifelong Republicans for Obama get enough coverage as it is.

The search function died last month. Multiple threads are now the norm.

Does anyone see the irony of Lady Rothschild calling someone an elitist?

[Ladycalif]

Yes, but I think elitism is more about attitude than money.

“Member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee”

Wow, I wonder if that has ever happened before.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild. What a name. Sounds like one of the characters Margaret Dumont played in the Marx Brothers movies:

Persephone Updike

Georgianna Fitzdingle

Mrs. Croxton-Lynch

Thanks...If it was posted before I didn’t see it...

Does anyone see the irony of Lady Rothschild calling someone an elitist?

But she did make her first $100 Million on her own... http://www.portfolio.com/views/columns/the-world-according-to/2007/10/05/An-interview-with-Lady-de-Rothschild

Careful Lynn Forester de Rothschild, the long knives of hate will be out before nightfall.

She obtained her wealth first the new way (on her own) and then she added to it the very old way (marrying British nobility).

Hey, the more Dems saying they are ditching Obama and supporting McCain, the better in this election.

Hopefully McCain keeps in mind that people are hoping he reverses the current course and moves this nation back to a course towards freedom.
