It takes cojones to do what Lynn Rothschild did. Obama has zero experience with anything. Voting present won't cut it. And you clowns want that in the white house? I and all my Dem friends are voting for McCain/Palin.

When he blew Hillary off, he blew me and a WHOLE LOT of my friends off too. This was the first really BIG decision of Obama's political life, and he told me everything I needed to know about who he really is. And so did McCain, for that matter. Show me what you do, and I'll show you who you really are.

I've never seen so many whiny, fraidy cat liberals in one place before

Lynn Forester de Rothschild has it together but, of course, the commie-centric dislike sarah palin's `correct, traditional' philosophy!

Obama was against offshore drilling and is now for it. He was against the troop surge and now agrees it worked. Against charter schools, now for. Against Bush's tax cuts, now will extend them. The most frightening thing is his vow to nearly double capital gains. The Clinton administration lowered them and that created wealth. My distrust of Barack stems from his record of very poor decision making. We really don't know where he stands – he votes 'present'. This is America's problem with him. I supported Hillary but will not vote for Obama this time around. McCain has a solid record of bipartisanship.

I'm glad someone has the guts to express this publicly. There are a lot of us who feel the exact same way...you say that Obama doesn't need us, we'll see if you're right about that.

It's a little like calling the kettle black is it not...with the background she has and the fact that she splits her time between London and New York... and she thinks Obama is an elitist!...give me a break...people will look for any excuse when they don't get their way...very childish...

No doubt the first of many. It's funny to see the squeeling children frustrated by a free-thinker. How can you trust a guy who's main claim to fame is he doesn't have a political resume? He showed his colors by selecting Biden as his runnign mate. Same old Same old tired tax and spend elitist.

Way to go...at least some Democrats are seeing the light of day...

More and more Americans will vote for their beliefs and for experience and will not vote strickly along party lines...McCain Palin 2008!!

Lynn Forester who?

Exactly. Not a crucial endorsement. Moving on.

Being a simple man I look at what drives a person and their actions. I see on the top of the tickets.. One man driven by self engrandizment and peer validation. Anouther a proven patriot making the last stand of his life for this country. One man seeking identity and resume and anouther knowing he will soon die and the maturity to know it is not his legacy that matters but the legacy of this country he loves. One is far to the extream in their party. And the other is spat on by his own for being to far to the center.

Don't get too mad at your network libs. They carry your water 99% of the time. You wouldn't want to make them mad over one critical story about your secular messiah.

With the (D) capitulation and compromise on the energy bill; that doesn't allow drilling and gives no incentives or revenues to the states. who do they think they're fooling?
The ban on drilling dies a natural death of its own anyway; I hope they get wise and just let the bill die; Nany Pelosi is the biggest fraud only just slightly less a fraud than the last speaker who was a Repube.

Truth is in the pudding, so to speak.

While the US economy is in a "Crisis" or as Obama termed it on the campaign trail "America is facing the worst economic crisis in history". Obama, the "just an ordinary hard working american" is hobnobbing & rubbing elbows with the Hollywood Elite lining his pockets to the tune of 9 MILLION DOLLARS in donations this very night, 09.16.08. Do you think $28,000 a plate dinner is excessive? How about contradictory, while lecturing americans on our wasteful habits on everything from energy to goods and services. Hate to burst your bubble, but Obama is ELITE. Don't you know how those HARVARD graduates think!

I have never been a conspiracy hack on the Clintons. That is, I've never bought into the numerous theories regarding outrageous and nefarious claims of Clinton misdeeds (ie Vince Foster, etc).

However, the news that a prominent Hillary backer, on the DNC platform committee no less, will endorse McCain vice Obama lends credence to the supposition that Hillary does *not* want Obama to win in 2008 so that she can gain the DNC nomination for 2012.

As someone who voted twice against Bill, and didn’t think that Hillary had a chance to become Senator in New York, I’ve learned not to under-estimate the Clinton team. As a side show to this election season, I’ll be watching for more people from the Hillary camp coming out for McCain, as well as lackluster support for Obama from the Clintons themselves.

It is pretty clear. It not that you don't trust him. Its just that he is black. Shame on you!!! Don't you know that racism is a thing of the past. We are a new generation move on with the times.

Excellent, finally "some" liberal people are seeing the light!

Exactly what has Obama done...........?, still waiting..........and waiting....................., oh, nothing that you can specifically state....

Oh, wait today the news just came in on the four (4) liberal media platforms Obama controls. He says he was the author of our stimulus package which gave us our rebates checks this year................., but he didn't even bother to vote on the bill "he created", wow, he must have really been busy reforming.......his campaign, of........change you can believe in. No doubt that slogan is TRUE look at all the zombies......they believe in NOTHING for the sake of the rah, rah! Oh quick somebody fainted again.....

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, she is not against Obama as a black, or a man, she is against a guy who can't make a decision, even on "his" landmark simulus package... "Hey advisers, should I go to congress to vote on that bill I created or should I give a speach like I did in 2004?"

How laughable. Liberals relax your panic grip, notice your knuckles are turning white, and they will be bleeding by Nov 4th, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Obama will lose because most Americans, unlike you elite, liberal communists, we are reasonable, practical, and can actually pull up our own pants in the morning. We aren't looking for a handout, and we definately don't need the old tired liberal playbook that government (name higher taxes) are going to solve anything. You guys have been doing the same thing for over 60 years, and what have you solved? NOTHING. This sums up Obama's campaign of "Something the Same that only the hysterical can believe in"

Have fun believing for another 50 or so days......

Really? Because McCain's policies are so close to Mrs. Clinton? I was a Clinton supporter and to just let everyone know, we all aren't liitle crybabies that will take our ball and go home if we don't get our way. I guess him not choosing her as a running mate was the final straw? How could he? The Clinton campaign practically painted him into a corner on that subject. I think it's been said before, this lady is PATHETIC!

the best candidate is obama, as far as this republican, catholic, conservative ,retired veteran of 21 years is concerned. you know black veterans and soldiers have died for this great realm of ours,too. looking for and fighting for the time when skin color would not matter. maccain has sold his soul to the devil, just as hillary did when she sat at the table with her sworn enemies, the mellon-scaithes, the sean hannities,and the bill-os of this world just to get elected. now i hear where karl rove is advising mccain. what has happened to that great gentleman, i really once did admire? he could deliver such great speeches. what has happened to you john mccain? i do believe that obama will pull in the younger voters, who will propel to the finish line on 4 november. john mccain, what happened to the straight-talk guy you were in 2000? you know how the bush campaign railroaded you. i thought i heard you say that you would not do that to your opponents. boo! hoo!

The first poster is not aware that Alaska has always had high unemployment rates due to the seasonal nature of fishing and tourism and large Native American villages which are heavily reliant on social services.

To say Palin is responsible for this condition ignores history. Goes to show there are liars and then there are statistics.

Many women were outraged over how the rules committee of the Democratic party stole the nomination from Clinton. No wonder they are jumping ship.

I just get a kick out of how Obama supporters have eaten up his mantra about McCain being the 2nd coming of Bush! How shallow thinking is that? It is the only thing Obama can do to scare his voters into pulling the lever for him!

Any person with active intelligence will actually see through that. They might not necessarily vote for McCain, but if they vote for Obama, they will do so for a totally different reason! The McCain = Bush is just so much Koolaid for automatons to consume. Get past that tired old scare tactic and find something substantive to use for fodder for Heaven's sake! Got that "irony"?

All you people that talk about job loss, how many jobs you created.?
Government does not create jobs. They are tax-collectors. If everyone of us waits around to be hired by the Government, I bet you the unemployment rate will be about 90%. Think about that you idiots who don't understand that the so-called Obama's tax cut on the rich are those that put some food on your tables.. Lest see what will happen to you if their businesses go down and so are you. They are the ones making the magic number $250,000.00 per year. Obama should encourage them to expand so more people could be absorbed into the work force.

Go ahead, Lynn Foresterde Rothschild was not a Democratic just for Hillary BAD MOVE for Lynn Foresterde Rothschild because Hillary is for Obama Hillary said Obama was her candidate.

Here is what I do not understand. You democrats preach tolerance and inclusion and as soon as someone disagrees with you they are called names and dismissed. What has happened to the democrat party? It seems the party has descended into hate and dishonor. First you say you are for womens right to choose then when the woman chooses life you have a fit? Also where is the evidence that Barrack Obama has more experience than Sara Palin? What exactly has Obama done? Where has Obama led? Just today we find out that Obama was given more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than everyone other than Chris Dodd. Also isn't the guy that was in charge of vetting and choosing Obama's vice-presidental pick a CEO at Fannie Mae? Why aren't you seekers of truth discussing this? And lastly what makes any of you think you are right about Obama? He has admitted to using drugs and has never stood up for anything and he made a horrible decision by not choosing Hillary as his VP. Wise up!

Go Lady de Rothschild, millions of Democrats like myself support your decision to endorse McCain/Palin.

Interesting how Obama suporters have nothing but hateful things to say about anyone that chooses not to support their Leader.

I'm voting against Obama neophyte HATE 2008.

Oh, the Obamatrons never stop, and you wonder why HRC's supporters don't want to support your candidate. You're allegations of racism never cease to amaze me. You're consistent use of name calling as your weapon against us is not working–it didn't work six months ago and it's not working now. Go ahead, question our loyalty and trivialize our intelligence, as in the end, at least you'll know why Obama lost. Don't worry, I have switched parties at this point and am now an Independent. I no longer want to be part of a party that touts inclusion–as long as the people think just like everyone else does. What's the difference between that and the Republicans who are more inclined to wear their exclusive status on their sleaves? I don't want anything to do with any of it–I'll vote independent of a party for the first time in twenty years. Thank you–I feel liberated!

Voting for McCain is just stupid. If the voters want to support a Candidate who is trustworthy – it's Cindy Sheehan for Congress in San Francisco.
http://www.CindyForCongress.org

Hey irony
The state of Illinois unemployment rate as of Aug 2008 is 7.3% the states highest level in almost 15 yrs, 1.2% higher than nat avg. And you are wrong about consistent job loss every mo since Palin is Gov. According to your own source ( labor.state.ak)
" While the country as a whole has shed jobs every mo so far in 2008, Ak is one of a handfull of states that has continued to see employment growth"

Yes Tish, NC ... Obama might have a million voters, the only problem is that over 218 million will be voting.

My, my... the infantile whinings of Democrats as women and independents leave them one by one is a pathetic thing to see. How quick they are to attack and try to destroy those who don't toe their party line and have the NERVE to actually think for themselves.

It's people like these that are inspiring Democrats like ME to vote for McCain and Palin. Keep it up, guys... you'll drive McCain into the White House for SURE at this rate.

She doesn't like Obama because she knows he's a phony. He's done nothing in his nearly 3 years in the Senate but run for the presidency. Bet he doesn't even know a senators job descrition.

It's a silly argument to malign Palin. SHe's done tons more than Obama has. What's HE done in the Ilinois senate? Send Resco in to make millions on rehabs and but Obama a house with a lot for pennies. But what DID Oabama do? Memorable bills? none. Same thing in the Senate..what's he done? memorable bills? not one.

Oh and Tish, why is it that the libs always try to silence the opposition? CNN ain't much but it does report things. ANything that make Obama look iffy deserves to be posted. He's a clown lookin after himself like he always has. He gives a crap about you or anyone. Self interested left wing socialist. Sounds like a winner to me.... He's paid no price.....gramma sent him to school. Not one dime did he pay.

Does anyone else see the delicious irony of a Rothscheild eschewing elitism? Or the bizarre attitude of the "feminists" with their sleazy attacks on Palin? What, exactly were we fighting for in the sixties and seventies? I won't vote for Obama because he is an abortion loving marxist with shady friends. I only hope that you lefties keep it up cause you're driving more votes to McCain/Palin by your sheer nastiness.

Traitor!

No Way, No How, NObama!!
John McCain/Palin 2008!!!
Go Big Mac, Go!!!!

Yeah, I remember the corporate media giving her a bunch of player as they tried to stir up the Clinton discontent pot...wow, ultra-rich London Baroness Rothschild is endorsing McCain – that will really help his man of the street cred during this economic crisis.

Did Lady de Rothschild call Obama an elitist?

ROFLMAO

It's obvious that Obama, Pelosi, and Howard Dean screwed Hillary's supporters over. Now, it's payback time. Lynn Forester de Rothschild is like a highly touted 5 star football recruit out of high school; everybody wants them, but only one team will get their service. Get ready to play ball, Obamessiah. Your jig is up.

I love to see you liberal/socialists squirm. Get used to it, you people have driven the rating of congress to the losest it has ever been. Pelosi and Reed, now there's a pair of losers.

When Government creates a job and then hires a person to do that job, that's one less person creating wealth. It's another person taxpayers have to support. So Palin eliminating government jobs is good for the economy. As for gas prices, you don't have to look any further then Mother Pelosi, she created that mess through legislation. Look up the 2007 legislation. She's also responsible for the soaring food costs as well, same tactic used.

A POPULARITY CONTEST??? What in the name of all that is holy do you think an election is????? IT IS A POPULARITY CONTEST!! That is why Obama the Slickster spends so much time cutting down Sarah Palin!! SHE IS POPULAR (which is a good thing for a politician): BILL CLINTON WAS POPULAR. RONALD REAGAN WAS POPULAR. Judas Priest, for supporters of Obama the new age Messiah, the INDONISIAN HERE TO HEAL US ALL (as he said, he is the ONE that we have been waiting for) have a lot of nerve now to complain that this is reduced to a "popularity contest."

YOU DIDN'T COMPLAIN WHEN YOUR SLICK AND EMPTY SUIT WAS AHEAD!! What was that fiasco in Denver all about?? He wasn't content to receive the "crown of fig leaves" in the Pepsi Center WITH THOSE WHO ELECTED HIM, NO HE HAD TO HAVE THE ADORING THRONGS, IN THE HUGE OUTDOORS BRONCO FOOTBALL STADIUM, WITH HIS VERY OWN STYROFOAM COLUMNS, LIKE ANY OTHER GRECO-ROMAN CONQUERER!!

(Forgive the rest of the country from laughing) the fact that YOUR CREEP TRIED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE IRAQi GOVERNMENT (TREASON) AND TRIED TO BULLY THE GERMANS (AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION) AND PULLS A BONER GAFFE EVERY SINGLE TIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH (to the point now that he has to BRING A TELEPROMPTER TO A RODEO, the funniest thing ever to happen in politics) ONLY MAKES YOUR INDONESIAN FELLA LOOK LIKE A SHINY-SUITED SHYSTER BULLY WITH JUG-EARS!

But, we can't hold all that against him too much, after all; OBAMA THE IDIOT DIDN'T SET FOOT ON THESE SHORES UNTIL HE WAS 18 YEARS OLD, AND THEN ONLY TO GO TO FANCY COLLEGES AND LAW SCHOOLS (affirmative action) AND THEN HE WENT TO CHICAGO TO BECOME A "NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZER" [that's code for Sal Alinsky brand Marxist / Leninist / socialist / anarchist / and chaos training AND THAT'S WHEN HE CHANGED FROM BEING A MUSLIM TO BEING A BLACK SEPARATIST "CHRISTIAN" THAT BELIEVES IN REPARATION AND SEPARATION OF BLACKS AND WHITES (PROVIDING THE WHITES GIVE ALL THEIR MONEY).

Then, there is his American hating WIFE who wears the pants in the family (ASK WHY and I will tell you that OBAMA likes his guy-fun and she knows she can DESTROY HIM whenever she wants to (PLUS HE WANTS TO BE HEAD OF THE NATION OF ISLAM ONCE OLD LOUIS FARRAKHAN KICKS THE BUCKET AND MICHELLE CAN MAKE OR BREAK THAT DEAL (hint: her brother is part of the package; he can break OBAMA into little pieces).

Good for her! To all of the Obama fans out there can you answer this question- why did Obama and Biden both vote to fund the "bridge to nowhere"?

Hey, irony, survivol of the Fittest, Tish,NC, John McPain and Hypocasy Rules you know what's you all are? RACIST PIGS! that's what you all are.

You're all scared and for good reason too. because you all know that Obama a.k.a. "Uncle Ben or Buckwheat" is loosing not just in the national polls but in the Electoral Map as well.

Btw, I admire Forster for having the guts to do what all other Democrats like myself are doing and believe you me there are over a million more like us out there.

So suck on that you RACIST PIGS!

McCain/Palin '08
Clinton/whoever '12

Seems like a lot of disgruntled people out there.
Elitest isn't allways about money though it helps. Its more about attitude and convictions.

Have you noticed anything peculiar about sara palin's behavior? Do you think that she may perhaps be more confident than she should, given the fact that she is virtually unknown, lacks a great deal of foriegn policy knowledge, and fills in the gaps with chatter about anything that will get a reaction from the crowd? Take her speech in Nevada, for example. Utterly ridiculous, yet she stood there without
any seeming ability to be self conscious enough to know that she was not coming across very clearly. Nor did she seem to be making much of a point at all, or talking about issues. After her her comment on Charles Gibson where she said "you can't blink"–I became scared of her, that is the kind of thing that very impulsive people say!

Obama is a liar, corrupt, two faced elitist. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The two big economic problems in this country are a result of liberal/democratic policies that NObama is part of it. We need to DRILL and get back to nuclear and alternative sources of energy as well as to maintain a stable political system in the countries that supply our oil needs, exactly what NOBAMA is not, and guess who blocked all attempts to regulate Fannie/Fred, the democrats, Cristopher Dodd, and guess who got political bribes from Fannie/Fred, the democrats, and ahead of the line NOBAMA, and guess who is one of obama main economic advisors is , the CEO of Fannie/Fred who also led the VP selection effort. WE CAN NOT Afford more of the SAME crook politics , we need HONOR, TRUSFULLNESS, REAL CHANGE and EXPERIENCE in the white house. and OBAMA is NOT

Hillary did ask if we were there for her, and yes we were because she represented the Democratic Party and not the party of a mythnical phony. Obama is further from being a Democrat than McCain. He IS an elitist, He is full of himself and now he is waffling all over like a fish dropped on the deck of a ship. The Pres helped elect the Dem. nominee simply because he was black, not because he was new and had a great message. He had no message other than that he wanted to be President and he and his campaign staff are blowing it worst than any campaign in history.

Did they not think his racial comments, use of the race card and obvious distain for America got by the people? I don't cling to any guns and he can believe all that crap if he wants. He simply does not represent the core Democrat and that's that. His speech has become a broken record. He cannot talk about the issues without a teleprompter and when he does everyone is saying "huh?". He never should have been the nominee and race should never have played the guilt card. Now we are stuck with a dud.

Who cares what a Rothschild says? besides isn't her wealth technically foreign since her husband is English?

who cares!!

Sooner or later the males in the Democratic Party are going to realize that it is them against the radical feminists. Apparently, Dems could not say they did not want the shrill radical feminist Hillary...without punishment.

Half the Democrats would sooner be killed than to have allowed Hillary to win the nomination....yet her supporters still think that she can come back in 2012 if they only destroy Obama this year.

She will not win in 2012. The Obama supporters from this year will remember the sick and twisted way she stabbed them in the back in the general in 2008...or at least I would think that way if I were a Democrat Obama supporter.

What scares me is that these feminists now control McCain and the Republican Party because they are considered the swing vote. They are a huge swing vote.

American men are stupid to allow a situation where two parties dominate and the swing vote are radical feminists who will get what they want in terms of new legislation no matter what happens.

Yikes, looks like we all are jumping ship to McCain. I must say, I owe Hillary's Campaign and apology. It seemed like they were just complaining about the sexism by Obama's people, but wow, look what they are trying to do to Palin. Let's go McCain, and then see what Hillary wants to do in 2012.

I'm sorry for you Irony, another scared obama worshiper. The reality is obama is just another politician who will say whatever he has to. There is no change possible with this candidate. Just Demo talking points. Try to be a little opened minded and independent in your thinking, so you don't become bitter and angry.

I couldn't help comment on irony's comment that Palin did not create jobs in Alaska during her tenure as Governor. According to the reference given by Irony, The Alaska Labor Dept shows that unemployment in AK rose from about 6 to 6.5% in the last two years while the US average rose from 4.25 to 5.75% So in the last two years AK's unemployment rate rose 12.5% against the US average increase of 29%.
To clarify AK's unemployment rate increase was less than 1/2 that of the US as a whole. That is a good thing.
Irony shows how easy it is to misrepresent numbers and how much some people think the government is responsible for creating jobs. The difference between a communist government and a democratic one is in a communist society the government is responsible for creating jobs. We don't need a politburo to create jobs. We need a government that gets out of the way so that the people can create jobs. I have no need for an O-bwana. (Swahili for false smile, false words, false hope).

There is a lot of reason to "not trust" Obama. He tried to keep more troops in Iraq for political gain.

Praise the lord! Now listen up the rest of you wavering Democrats, KEEP WALKING TOWARDS THE LIGHT!

Wow, she's a CEO, married to an international banker who's a "Sir," and spends her time jet-setting between New York and London. But it's the black man, son of an immigrant, raised by a single mom, one time on welfare, who just paid off his loans who's the elitist. What a crock.

"Can we afford four more years of Bush policies?"

Pitiful babies! You couldn't beat Bush when he was running, so now the current election has to be about him, just so you have a chance to beat him. Too bad, your boy, B. Hussein Obama is falling like a lead balloon and there's nothing you can do but continue to whine like the babies you are! I guess we have another 4 years of Pinko protesting to look foward to when McCain/Palin win this one too, right whiners?

Oh wow. If a Rothschild is voting for McCain, I am definitely voting for Obama.

President Sarah Palin. It has a nice ring to it. Get used to it.

Jobs are created by business people, not politicians. Granted it is the job of politicians to legislate for a conducive business environment but other than that, please leave the creation of jobs to business people. Corporations like Lehmans have HIGHLY paid mangers who did not do a good job. It is stupid to blame the politicians for the collapse of Lehmans.

Moving from the "dark side" to the light, good for you Lynn Forester! The are so many mindless automotons chanting "O-ba-ma O-ba-ma" these days it's refreshing to see someone who can think for themselves. To those who believe government should create jobs – it's our capitalist system and individual freedoms that should be creating jobs you socialist twits!

If I thought for even a minute that Obama really had the same ideas and plans as Sen. Clinton I might vote for him. When he first appeared on the scene I wanted to learn more about him, he seemed at first like the answer to this country's problem. Then I bought and read his books, listened to him when he gave speeches and watched as he mesmerized the American people. He's a phony, he can't do what he promises, the numbers don't add up. I do believe he would bring change, I don't think I would like the kind of change he offers. I work very hard for what I have, I don't want to give it to those who sit home and do nothing. I managed to put myself through college while working a full time job and raising 3 daughters as a single mom, I know what it is like on both sides of the fence. I don't believe people have a right to hand outs. Get off your butt and work for what you want. I donate every week to help the elderly and children, they can't do for themselves. I don't want to have to support the lazy too. When Obama made his choice for VP it only reinforced for me his inability to make good decisions. NO OBAMA, NO WAY!!
TX Lady

I'll trust the great Senater from Illinois when he offers:

- The date of his last illegal drug use
- His willingness to submit to a drug test
- An explanation of what took place in the limo with Larry Sinclair
- Why he refuses to turn over his cell phone records from the night of his illegal drug used and homosexual sex

I'm waiting....

I would say he probably is an elitist.

HE MOST CERTAINLY NEVER GAVE ME A REASON TO TRUTH HIM.

untrustworthy

"I don't know boss . . . this one's gonna be hard to throw under the bus"

Wow, this lady owns a corporation and is married to a banker, and she has the nerve to not like Obama for being "elitist"? No, I'm positive that couldn't be the reason. That is silly coming from a woman who is educated and was rational until Hillary lost the primaries. I'm wondering if some evil person recently gave de Rothschild (a very elitist sounding name btw) and Fiorina both lobotomies that rendered them dumb. Fiorina won't stop babbling on about who could or couldn't run a corporation, and now this one is supporting a candidate based on the fact that she is afraid of black men. I hope that these two women don't reflect the general mindset of today's white businesswomen...

Brave move by a brave woman. This is news because it's an example of what's happening all over the country. Many of my customers (I'm in remodeling) have stated that they can't stand Obama or Biden, and they're jumping tickets. Also, Hillary's policies were way more conservative than Obama's. Apart from healthcare, she's very similar to McCain.

By the way "Hypocrasy Rules", learn how to spell. And how come every Republican that pulls himself/herself up by his/her bootstraps is a hillbilly, and every Democrat that does so decides no one else can do it without government help? Oh, well. It probably doesn't matter much because if Obama violated the Logan act as per the NYPost, this election's over. McChange is on the way!

Obama does not need this, or any other woman's support. He is the best MAN for the job!

Our economy is tanking through bailouts of huge corporations (eight years of bad economic policy from Bush/Cheney, about which McCain has said that the fundamentals are sound), the last in a line of strong hurricanes has decimated Galviston and Houston (global climate change, which McCain wants to deal with by drill, drill, drill...), we are losing to the Taliban in Afgahnistan through poor diplomacy with Pakistan and by being bogged down in a war in Iraq (a war McCain thinks he can "win"), and now the wealthy, supposedly Democrat CEO of an international holding company and wife of a Knight of the British Kingdom is calling Obama an "elitist" and because of that is going to support McCain...

Talk about the "silly season". Does Lynn Forester de Rothschild think we are stupid just like McCain thinks we are stupid? She's no Democrat, just like he's no straight-talker. All these millionaires are the real elitists, and it's no surprise that they would support each other. But Obama/Biden much better represents the interests of the majority of the American people!

I think a significant number of Hillary supporters are leaning in that direction as well. Not the majority, but enough to tip the election for John McCain.

Brava, Ms. Rothschild, for your courageous stand.

This not-so-prominent Clinton backer and lifelong Democrat will be joining you and countless other similarly placed Democrats in voting for, working toward the election of, and financially supporting the campaign of John McCain.

The endorsement came from Lynn because she is a "thinking" democrat.

You liberals crack me up! If Obama doesn't need her vote then I guess he doesn't need mine. I would, however, like to point out that he is in a dead heat with his opponent, so you all should be careful when writing people off. Undecided voters luke myself just might feel inclined to give our vote to someone who does need it. All of the hateful comments from liberals directed towards those who dont support Obama really need to stop. Obama really is like every other politician. Those colors have shown ever brighter ever since McCain has began closing in on his lead.

Haha... government just grew by $85B with the AIG Bailout. It does not really matter who wins in November, both sets of candidates will just make things worse for everybody. You want more government in your lives? You are gonna get it, and surely more than you ever wanted.

"Who is she calling an elitist? Then you have McCain with 100 million in the bank and 9 houses."
Exactly what I was thinking. As for the reasoning that she doesn't like him because he is black, I think it has more to do with the fact she is one of those poor, unfortunates in that 5-10% group that Obama is targeting with increased taxes. It must be worrisome for the poor soul, when you consider her increase in taxes will far outweigh the average American's yearly salary!

I'm sorry... if your name is Lynn Forester de Rothschild, then you don't get to call ANYONE an elitist.

It does not matter who win Prez race as David Rockefeller and Rothschilds will order whoever wins to do their will. That is the dirty secret noone talks about for fear of being punished.

I agree. I'm a liberal independent who supported Hillary during the primary. I'm angry at the Dems. for forcing Obama on us. The Democratic leadership of Reid, Pelosi and Dean ought to lose their jobs big time after Obama loses this election. I'm now for McCain. He is NOT Bush, he's the only that seems to realize that the real problem is the outside money in politics and that's the only way anything is ever gonna change. i feel just like she does about Obama. I don't like him!!!

Hey irony, governments create very few jobs. It is private business that creates the jobs in this country. But I guess that would change if obama bin biden was elected? It is the failed policies of the democrats and the environmental whacks that have ruined this country.

Either Lynn Forester is a republican by nature, or she don't like strong black men who has the audacity to run for president of the United States. For her to endorse McCain is about the fakest thing I have ever seen anyone do.

This is America... people vote their own choices... I admire this person for bucking party lines and voting for the best candidate. I too am energized by the Republican ticket and have decided to cast my vote contrary to what the pundits demand. If the Democrats were as eager to investigate the failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as they are to criticize the Republicans and try to hang every thing that goes wrong on Bush in hopes of splitting voters into opposing groups then perhaps I would reconsider. But I am not holding my breath. There are far too many "D" party loyalists who looted the bank to let that happen!

My comment for Pelosi: Drill Babby Drill... you lost me when you put your party and your stubborn beliefs ahead of your constituents.

She is the one with back bone. Country before partisan.

Wow, a democrat that can think, NOW THAT IS NEWS!

She is smart enough to know that Obama/Biden will never fight the Democratic party for the good of America. They will (as their record shows) vote 99+% of the time with Pelosi/Reid. That is not change.

How about these facts?

Obama/Biden among worst Pork Barrel offenders in the Senate

Each year, The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) tabulates its Congressional Ratings, evaluating how each member of Congress measures up on key tax and spending votes.

Scale: 100% Best Record - 0% Worst Record

McCain – (2007 Score): 100%, (Lifetime Score): 88%
Obama – (2007 Score): 10%, (Lifetime Score): 18%
Biden – (2007 Score): 0%, (Lifetime Score): 22%

She's obviously of very little substance. Voting against policies you support out of spite makes no logical since whatsoever. She's gonna be very disappointed come the morning of November 5th however because when it's all said and done, her endorsement means abosutely nothing LOL It's not like Obama's hurtin for the money she would've raised for him or like she has a legion of followers hanging on her every word. She's pretty much irrelevant. A half a day story at most LOL

Sounds like she came to her senses.

Very Simple. If a member of the DNC doesn't trust Obama, why should I ?

Forester sounds like a gal that had to make a difficult choice.

I really don't see much difference between HC or BO. But BO's snide treatment of HC during the Primaries and they way the Media has built his ego has convinced me that he does feel he's above others.

What sealed the point was BOs small town guns & religion comment. I just don't like folks that make such broad generalizations about people. That comment belittles & insults some 50 million between the coast people (a lot of those small town folks are Democrats).

The trip to Europe didn't help either.

I love listening to you liberals whine about anyone who's not under Obama's spell.
Hillary is now no good because she's not Obama's puppet.
Palin no good because she's a repub.
Blah blah blah

Governor Palin enjoys a 80% approval rating with her AK constituents including many minorities, this is better than any other USA Governor. She is apparently doing a excellent job! Obama appears to be a Chameleon putting on the color he needs for a situation. Remember his "Good Friend" of 20 years, Pastor Wright? Obama "kicked him to the curb" when he was no longer convenient. With character like this, consider how he will be in Foreign Policy; Obama had the audacity to claim he did not know his "Good Friend" of 20 years was racist. Is Obama also blind and deaf? I want someone whom I can believe in and "walks their talk" like McCain/Palin;past,present, and future!

You see politicians don't create jobs – the American people do. Politicians do take other peoples money – killing jobs. You see beside "common good" items like defense and some infrastructure – money is used less efficiently moves slower and kills wealth in government. Its a fact proven thought all history without fail.

Gas prices high in Alaska? They've always been higher because the economies of scale dont allow the local refining power. Alaskans bnefit by getting back payments for their oil (whick Palin negotiated a huge increase in).

There's alot more but of course I'm going to bed – Ive got a business to run in the morning – not a govt job I can sleepwalk though.

Liberals= intolerant, ignorant, devoid of logic

Finally, a Dem who refuses to get rug burn on her/his knees from kissing Obama's rear end. "Who needs her!!!," writes Trish of NC. Well, apparently Hillary Clinton did...you remember Hillary, don't you, Trish ? BTW: Has The High & Holy Anointed One ever fully explained why he chose Joe "Mr. Eloquence" Biden over Clinton as his VP running mate ? I'd love to hear somebody ask him that question without a teleprompter around, or, better, yet, with a teleprompter that malfunctions in mid-sentence.

She trusts John McCain over Obama? She is shallow and greedy. Her head is hollow, and made of cement!

WHO CARES WHAT THIS WOMAN THINKS?

she's a hypocrite who probably is in denial that she's a racist.

I am glad to hear this. As a Hillary supporter and lifelong democrat – I too will be voting for McCain, a Republican, for the first time in my life.

I am disgusted with the democratic party and their treatment of Hillary Clinton and of Obama for not choosing hillary as the VP and allowing the Republicans to have this historic opportunity.

McCain/Palin in 2008

Hillary Clintn in 2012

Wow! Is this the definition of EMOTIONAL?

Right on, Lynn!! More proof that the Obama empire has crumbled & is finished. I guarantee you Hillary is not crying over this, though - Palin vs. Clinton 2012 !!!

Of course, this is the case with millions of Clinton supporters.

Obama is in big trouble. Throughout the primary season, Obama consistently underperformed his pre election polling numbers.

I am amazed at how inept the Democrats are. Had you nominated Hillary, this election would have been a slam dunk.

In reality, with the exception of Dennis Kucinich, any other Democratic candidate who ran in the primary would have won this election easily.

But the Dems got hoodwinked by the charismatic snake oil salesman and nominated the one man who couldn't win the election that was tailor made for them.

Pathetic indeed.

Thanks again, Democrats!

-RM

Obama supporters still chithing about how Obama has a better shot of "uniting washington"?

you'd have to be either an idiot or Obama himself to actually believe that over McCain, who's taken heat from his own party so often in the past for voting his conscience.

If you knew McCain, you'd vote for him.
if you actually knew Obama, he'd be a laughing stock.

Good for her. She must be sane.

She's from the Rothschild dynasty and she's calling Obama- a guy who grew up poor in a single-parent household, worked his way up from nowhere to where he is today, an elitist?

Hey Irony, so how exactly does raising taxes create more jobs?

You idiot libs are all the same. If you want to see what high taxes do to the employment rate, check out France's unemployment rate and their taxes % and get back to me.

sore loser

Wow. What a bunch of cool aid drinkers. Based on the incoherent nature of the comments on this board and in light of the numerous misspellings in the text of them one might be tempted to believe that Obama supporters are ignoramuses. I would never say that though because it would not be in keeping with the “new tone” in Washington. People like Joe Lieberman and this woman are putting the country first by supporting McCain because they know that despite their political leanings putting a political climber with zero experience, in the White House, at a time like this would be grossly negligent.

McCain over Obama? Elitist?? Has she or McCain ever visited Castlemont High School, in Oakland, Calfiornia? Not Likely. This is my alma mater – a school over 60 years old – it looks, smells and is run like a prison. I bet Obama has probably visited a simialrly decrepit schoolin Chicago while serving as a community organizer. Obama is elitst? In whose world? The world McCain actually believes it'sokay to even think about stationing National Guard or regular army troops in certain communties – USA communities – to control (cage) crime??

I am almost beside myself with despair. We have no country of the people, by the people or for the people. We must revolt – stop buying things, drive less, travel overseas less (yes less) focus on improving our country, the USA, not Iraq, Afghanistan Pakistan or Iran – this country, the USA . We all live well together or we perish miserably together.

Wow,an honest Democrat..What a find....Two of Obama's top economic advisors are responsible for the Fannie/Freddie meltdowns by stealing millions in salary and bonuses.

Rats abandoning a sinking ship......

Palin is frighting. We need to keep aborting babies. We need higher taxes and no military anywhere. We need to realize we are the enemy and that Bush and Cheney blew up the twin towers and that Bush used secret weapons to send Katrina into New Orleans so the Democrats would leave the city and Lousiana would get its first Republican Governor. And we must fight voter IDs so that we can continue to allow everyone who wants to to vote, and vote and vote.
Isn't it that Palin who is so frightening!

Governor Palin enjoys a 80% approval rating with her AK constituents including many minorities, this is better than any other USA Governor. She is apparently doing doing a excellent job! Obama appears to be a Chameleon putting on the color he needs for a situation. Remember his "Good Friend" of 20 years, Pastor Wright? Obama "kicked him to the curb" when he was no longer convenient. With character like this, consider how he will be in Foreign Policy; Obama had the audacity to claim he did not know his "Good Friend" of 20 years was racist. Is Obama also blind and deaf? I want someone whom I can believe in and "walks their talk" like McCain/Palin;past,present, and future!

I am tired of people bringing up the experience buzzword to prove moot points. Im placing my vote for the candidates who have demonstrated having the most responsibility for something. McCain and Palin have demonstrated clear responsibility over policies, state government etc. I'm still waiting for a significant piece of legislation or anything that has showed Obama being responsible for something. I just can't trust him...

Lynn is clearly not a Democrat or she would be doing ask Hilary requested, and that's to support the party–which ultimately must win, regardless of who is running, if America is going to pull itself out of the crises created by the Republicans (the group which Lynn is now supporting.)

It's good she is gone if the only reason she helped was to get a special favor from Hilary, after Hilary won.

On a more general note, the election process has been great. It has given all of us, the entire world in fact, a chance to think about our morality–our basic way of acting and interacting in our society. Lynn and the other turncoats could do a bit more thinking about themselves, and what being a traitor means. And while on that subject, perhaps she will get around to asking Palin why she supports the Alaska Independence Party which wants Alaska to break away from the US, become independent, and take its oil/gas with it. Another moral question, for another day.

Liberal IDIOTS Obama has not plan, No experience, wants to deminish America..Hussain will not be elected

irony – I'd like to know how the governor of any state control gas prices? If that were true, then none of the governors have done a good job. If it were within the power of the governor to be sure that the price of gas is $1/gallon or less, don't you think they would have done that? I can say the same thing about my governor of Illinois. He's a democrat! Also, since when is it that the governor's responsibility to create jobs? I would agree that the governor can create opportunities, but it's up to the private sector to create the jobs. I think your accusations are misplaced.

Finally, a democrat with some sense. The rest of you are pathetic.

I am learning so much from this election. Learning just how bad race relations are in this country.

"...After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment"....

The core allegation of the Keating Five affair is that Keating had made contributions of about $1.3 million to various U.S. Senators, and he called on those Senators to help him resist regulators. The regulators backed off, to later disastrous consequences..."

There can be only one reason Demogods are scared and make these kind of responses. The air is gone out of the fake messiah's balloon and it is crashing.

What's this, a democrat with brains? I'm astounded!

we can't afford not even one day of the jimmy carter adm. policies. that's what we'll get if nobama is somehow elected.

This woman is married to an international banker and she's calling Obama an elitist? Pul-eeze. Besides, never heard of her so not scared about her endorsement of McLame.

Nobody with any intelligence could vote for Obama with a clear conscience. He's probably the most unqualified person in the senate, much less as candidate for president. No doubt he is one of the most unqualified people in the national elected gov't. It's deeply troubling that America has lost its mind and 40% of the population say they would actually cast a vote for him. Just unbelievable what has happened to the US. One of the reasons McCain probably chose Palin is to show that her very limited experience (clearly not qualified for VP) is still much higher than Obama – and to showcase Obama for the ridiculous joke that he is. Brilliant strategy of exposing this fraud huckster.

Uh, Irony (post #1):

I think I can speak for most Alaskans - as an independent Alaskan myself, and one of the 80% or so of us who approve of her job performance here - that Sarah Palin is doing an excellent job of governing our state. She has helped bring much of the state GOP hierarchy down and has been doing much to bring us a natural gas pipeline, also.

You will notice from your own link that Alaska's unemployment rates almost perfectly mirror the national rates - and happen for a variety of reasons here, and under a variety of circumstances. If people here were personally blaming Palin for such figures, I doubt she'd be as popular here as she is...and she was that popular BEFORE McCain chose her as his VP, by the way.

With friends like that, the DNC doesn't need enemies.

I hope the door does hit her cellulite backside on her way out.

Who cares what this person thinks?

"No way, No how, No McCain"

- Hillary Clinton

Another person who just doesn't get it... ANY HILLARY supporter who supports John McCain is in this for the wrong reason. PERHAPS Barak was right to not choose Hillary because some with her don't get it.

Goodness, the rats leaving the ship..But the smart money always does so. I suppose her husband has influnced her decision...How sad.

She is a CEO of a holding company and splits her time between London and the US, and she calls Obama an elitist? some nerve I'd say!

Lynn Forester de Rothschild – cultured, wise and wealthy, yes – but unlike the Hollywood collective super wealthy phonies – see latest fundraiser of 29.500,- a plate = $ 9 Million in one evening – she's at least honest that she cannot support a person of mediocre intelligence, who was groomed his entire life by the dangerous radical Left. The media fails to inform the public, who this man from Chicago really is, and that he and is 'team' must not be in charge of the US.

Finally we have a DNC member who can say the truth! Obama has his finger high in the air, testing the winds of change constantly! Hopefully Lynn will be successful in gettting McCain elected

Good move Lynn! A lot of Hillary supporters are going to vote for McCain. He's got the experience, he's a war hero, he crosses party lines to get things done. Funny how these Obama people keep trying to suggest that Obama has more experience than Palin, but they don't dare suggest that Obama is even close to McCain's experience. Even more funny is that Palin has far more experience as a Mayor, Governor and business owner than Obama could ever dream of.

Obama should have picked Hillary for VP....now he will pay the price for not picking her!

IRONY

Government doesn't create jobs

Good on you, Lynn! More people within the party have to stand up to Barack Obama's elitism and misogyny. His poor judgement in not choosing Hillary as his running mate proves he is unqualified to be President. McCain and Palin have won my support.

I think people are attracted to a Palin ticket because they are suffering in the current economy and want her theology to stop their pain now.
Those people are going to be really disappointed and disillusioned.

In my view, her religious views are almost apocalyptic.

Hopefully, McCain,72, will retire now.

I love this.
I love seeing you leftists expose yourselves
as the ugly, rotten people you are.
Golly, it's like watching the Wicked Witch melt.
Lovey, lovey, lovey.
Keep it up!
Hehehehhehehe

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, welcome aboard. Senator McCain is a fine honorable gentleman, of substantial accomplishment. Senator McCain will be a fine President, and will acquit himself well with skill and honor. You will not be disappointed.

I am a democrat that has to vote for McCain also. Too much at stake and Obama is a novice. He is a nice man, but a novice nonetheless.

Obama wants wealth re-distribution.. Take from one person and give it to someone who did not earn it...Kind of sounds like theft!!! America cant afford Obama.........

Never heard of this person, so who cares who she votes for. And she thinks Obama is an elitist? She's married to someone who is knighted. Now, THAT is an elitist.

Hey Irony: has Obama ever created a job? or Signed significant Legislation? No.

Obama is a complete question mark on so many topics, and in consistent on key positions like Iraq..... great charisma, but "Hope" is not a strategy for a country..its emotional...we need hard hitters who have actully done something in National/Int'l government... Clinton was right in S.C., " this (obama) is the biggest fairytale I've ever seen...."

Have any of you people looked at the state of affairs in California? Who runs California! And don't try to blame Bush for the mess California is in either. This is what you want for the whole country! Holy Jesus! For one second, in your brainwashed minds, explained to yourself what is happening in California, and even Michigan and whose is to blame before you spout off why we should elect more liberals!!!

McCain 08 / Palin 12

So the guy who doesn't own 7 houses is an elitist interesting you had me at de?

Maybe she doesn't like the fact that he has made many questionable evaluations of the character of those who surround him.

Rezko, Kilpatrick, Ayres...

Not to mention he lied about taking public financing and voted for Bush's wire taps.

No, the person is not thinking about Hillary Clinton the person or HRC policies. Forester is thinking about the fact that she is included in the 5 percent earning over $250,000 who taxes will be raised. Isn't that typical of greedy person, selfish and wants everything.

A freaking Rothschild thinks Obama is an elitist? People act like he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

What a flake. Lynn Forester de Rotweiler (through her spokesperson ~ ha ha). And why does she even merit any press? Scram ~ you old money bag ~ you showed your true colors ~ I'm sure there are people "who don't like or trust you" ~ you can put lipstick on a pig.............

That sissing sound we all hear is the steam escaping from the Obama balloon. Down, down, down it goes. Down to defeat!

They're starting to leave the sinking ship.

You silly Libs, elitism has nothing to do with how much money you have, it has everything to do with your ideas and that YOU think YOU know what's better for everyone else.

You guys are seriously losing your minds, and I LOVE it. You guys threatened to move to Canada when Kerry lost the election and didn't follow through, but you better not make false promises again. Wait – I'm Canadian!! We already have enough of you Liberal losers here!!!

Moron. Way to spit in the faces of everyone that *really* supports Hillary.

You people need to come up with an origional idea...McSame, McBush, McPain...all been beat to death.

First off, there are hundreds of reasons NOT to vote for NObama. First, he has NO executive experience and last time I checked, Palin is not running for President, yet =)
Next, he has tons of skeletens in his closet (how did he get into Harvard? Look it up. A Muslum extremeist and a lawyer for the Black Panthers and MalcomX helped).
He was in Congress for less time than Palin was Gov.
He suggests "Change" yet picks a 36 year statue in Congress for a VP
Has NEVER done anything to help the country, never authored a singel bill, voted over 130 time PRESENT. He is worthless.

I don't blame her for leaving, she has a little sense...more than you idiots. You complain about Bush, but who has the lowest ratings? Bush, or your Democratic Congress???

I feel exactly the same way.. I supported Obama early on but his poor judgement in choosing a VP caused me to look at him more closely.. I to will be supporting McCain!!

Good! Another vote for McCain / Palin!

Elitist? Sounds like your the elitist with a husband called Sir Evelyn... Who cares, if that's how you feel, fine, but you don't need to announce it to the whole world, just wait until Nov 4 and vote for McBush. DNC needs to kick you off the team. Besides, most of America feels the same way about McCain, we don't trust him and he's the most elitist of them all.

So she is in effect endorsing the small-minded Sarah Palin.

What a super STAB in the back to Hillary Clinton!

What dont you hard core Obama or Hillary supporter get? John McCain is no Bush. He is his own man. The democrats controlled the house and senate for the last two years ... they vetoed all sorts of housing and regulations for the financial sector. So, we are in the current mess because of them. Nothing at all to do with Bush. I supported Hillary because I got to know her and trust her. The same for McCain. Obama I dont trust and dont know. So, stop acting like children and vote for who you trust and know. Voting strictly party is a dying fade in the USA.

Go McCain / Palin! (former Hillary supporter)

you got it right, hypocrisy rules.

Pitiful. Rothschild was willing to go to the wall for Hillary, but not for what Hillary believes in. Guess she would rather see a President Palin than a President Clinton, or a Clinton in charge of health care.

Pitiful is right.

All the more reason for Obama to win. What convoluted thinking.

Go To The GOP, Your Reason To Not Vote For Obama Is Because You Don't Like Him. She Clearly doesn't Care About The Economy Either Then.

Obama/Biden 08'

I agree with Lynn. I am also voting for McCain, and what a joy it will be to have Hillary in 2012. If Obama did not know that he was NOT in Denver, but that he was in Pueblo, how can we expect him to know how to run our country? Open your eyes and ears voters! Don;t be foolish to be taken in by his arrogance and nonsensical jargon.

Hillary doesn't want Obama winning, this is no secret. The Clinton machine will be providing the McCain campaign with all kinds of help in the coming weeks.

This woman obviously wasn't a real Clinton supporter or she supported her for reasons other than her beliefs.
Clinton's policies are very similar to those of Obama. I too, have problems with him, but my core values, and what I see as the problems and the solutions to those problems will be best solved by Obama.
Clinton and McCain have one thing in comon- they are both good people, but they do not share any views that can make you go from one to the other.
Mrs de Rothchild- what's in this for you and your obviously wealthy family to have McCain in the White House?

Governments don't create jobs, businesses do – unless they're government jobs, which require tax dollers, which hurt the economy... You do the math.

Hmmmm....

so she spends half her time in the US, and half in London.... and ... gasp... Obama.... is the elitist.

Blah, Blah, Blah... who cares who this woman is supporting!

Forester is not a true Democrat, rather she appears to be a closet republican. No true Democrat who supports and holds to the fundamental beliefs and ideologies of the Democratic party could ever SUPPORT and HELP a republican nominee, especially one like John McCain.

CNN.. please stop reporting on people like her, your attempt to stir up trouble and discord is obvious (and disheartening). The true Democrats are united against McCain. For once, try to curb your right-wing bias and give us real news!

Obama/Biden '08

I wonder what she was promised. I just hope that the Democrats remember this betrayal and refuse her money from here on in.

Tish. Seems you don't like it when your socialist networks cover even some news that is unfavorable to Obama.

Wright... racist.
Ayers... terrorist.
Rezko... criminal.
Iraq... would have gone against intel of all the world's agencies.
Surge... Wrong.

I don't trust Obama or his judgment either.

Whatever.

Obviously she senses something in Obama she doesn't trust. Something intangible that is rooted in his spirit. The words he utters are not what he feels in his heart. There is something inate in Obama that I too do not like nor trust. And this is the reason why I will never vote for him either.

McCain/Palin

Some people are such hypocrites....you have money coming out of the wazoo ...and have the nerve to call someone else 'elistist'....it's utterly ridiculous coming from her ...as well as McCain....come on now...they are truly trying to play the American public for stupid....

The idea that you don't like someone as a person is OK I guess if you don't know them well. For instance, I really dislike the guys who were fighter bombers dropping bombs on the Vietnamese - as opposed to the troops on the ground who really had to live and fight hand to hand. I just dislike those äloof" types. And I don't like back-woodsy women who sling their rifles over their backs, don't watch their kids very well - at least not like we do in MY neighborhood. Obama is educated and I guess that makes him elitist. So was his own father and mother for heaven's sake! Ph.Ds - can you imagine sucha heritage for our country?
I can - I don't know Obama well but I wouldn't trust a bomber hero as far as I could throw him!.

My goodness! Are we bitter? This is someone that doesn't like Obama. No reason to call her racist, or and elitist or whatever. Moreover, the attack on Palin continues, despite the fact her constituents love her – 82% approval.
Here's your problem – your candidate is an empty suit. If he weren't black, no one would have considered his run for President.

She sure has upset the Kool aid drinkers. What is there to trust about a man who doesn't know what the word transparency means. Who tries to hide his past and can only make promises because he has no track record to stand on.

An elitist? Can someone please inform her that McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate? Yes, Sarah Palin who simply gave potshots during her nomination acceptance speech instead of addressing issues. This is the same Sarah Palin who is being hidden under lock and key because the GOP doesn't want to expose her ignorance on the national issues.

Wait, I'm sorry. What I just said probably makes me a sexist, right?

who cares? We get Powell soon!

Why do we have to keep hearing about Hillary? She lost.

She's useless. She's the opposite of everything Hillary represents: Lynn hasn't worked hard, hasn't earned anything.

It's no surprise that an empty social climber would endorse McCain over Obama; Lynn represents the worst of America in her desire for personal power and connections exceeding her desire to see a single one of Hillary's issues come to fruition.

With friends like Lynn, who needs enemies?

I think anyone who says runs for president is an elitist (that includes the Clintons). They are saying that they are better than anyone else to lead this country. I for one do not want anybody to be my president who thinks they are not better than the average joe.

I find it interesting that many of Hillary Clinton's supporters that make the headlines are *already* highly powerful women that don't have much of a track record in women's issues.

Why does she tell the real tuth to why shy doesn't like Obama? Another untruthful American who will not speak the truth.

Thank You VERY VERY Much.

EVERY time, I hear or see a woman say I will vote for Mccain because Hillary is not the Dem VP nominee or the nominee, I look at them and say "you are disgrace to feminism and to the nation"!!!

We NEVER favored hillary JUST because she IS woman – she is a great leader, has better values and policies AND works for people and executes .... Lynn OR whoever is voting for GOP – do you care for people?? Do you want to quietly sit there while your hard earned money is wasted on stupid wars????? You all are either complete idiots OR belong to one of these popular vote (blind folded by Race/Sex/Religion etc etc ) OR a rich business person / lobbyist afraid OR no role to play with the new Democratic administration!!!

So Lynn – is Palin offering you the lipstick for the slit? She has been chosen NOT to uplift women like us but a pure political play....
C'mon....

What a cry baby – just trying to get attention. She is obviously not a true Hillary supporter.

What?
Sarah Palin cannot tell a lie..

She is a devout Christian ..
isn't she??
She talks with God... Just ask her... Yeah..
He told her to build a oil pipeline.

A Rothschild calling Obama elitist?!

Sounds like the lady is a republican. And she was helping clinton only to hurt Barack Obama's momentum. and now she is showing her real face. she should be removed from democratic party.

Forester is a sole loser. If the candidate she backs can turn around and back Obama, why can't she. She was sucked in too deep emotionally on some counter Obama issues that she cannot tell red from the blue, pity.

I think this woman does not like Obama because of his skin color , or else she was not mean to serve people , she was in Democrat party for her own interest

Obiviously just wanted to support Hillary and not what she stood for.

Is she really a feminist that wanted to see a woman in office no matter what? She did support Hillary's policies and concerns for the country. So what was she? Who really is the elitist, she lives between Europe and New York? She should have been a Republican all alone.

blah blah blah
You all are just bitter bitter. How many Dems have defected over the last few years? Soo many. It's got to hurt. It's because Obama, Pelosi, and Reed are so jacked up on stupidity, not resembeling any of the high points of the Democrativ party. Try to act like Franklin, Jack, or Bill and maybe you'll get elected. naner naner naner

The election dynamics has turned into one sorry and bad joke on the American people. The McCain campaign is a despicable example of taking a sum amount of zero and giving it a value the gullible American voter can relate to. People do get the government they deserve and will do so as the continue to vote against their better interests. The U.S., its moral standing in the world, its failing economy and crude/rude politics simply show the county has moved downward on the backside of its life cycle curve. So be it at the hands of the willingly uninformed!

This from a woman who created the ultimate PUMA website who was introduced to her current husband, a prominent banker in England, by Henry Kissenger.

Elitist?

Buh-bye!

This is just too much! I'm not a big Obama supporter and I will vote for him, but she is CALLING him an elitist? With a an international banker husband named Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and houses in London and New York. geesh

A Rothschild is calling the black son of a single mother who worked his way up to his current position and elitist.

Let's analyze this woman's decision. His policies are virtually the same as Clinton's. Senator Obama is 47 years old, has a wonderful family and a pretty lean arrest record. He's been thoroughly vetted by the media and others in a way no ordinary citizen has. That leaves just one alternative. Shame on her!

For every democrat willing to endorse John McCain there are 10 Republicans willing to endorse Barack Obama.

"...frankly, I don't like HIM"!!!!! Well, since she's not talking abt the issue but likability, she might as well be one of the Bigots in DNC.
Good luck Geraldine Ferrarro 2.

When will you left leaning voters comprehend the fact that not everyone agrees with your position? Not understanding this simple premise is tantamount to fascism.

She is free to vote for who ever she wants to, regardless of what you think.

Obama's GrandMother paid for Barry Sotero to go the Best school in Hawaii. His GrandMother could have bought a home instead of the mini fortune she spent on her Grandson who later changed his lastname to Obama.

Mr. O,Poverty has never been poor. Oh yeah, Dreams of My Father he states that he had to eat soups out of the can. Wow! How many Rich Boys learn to cook and budget their food after they have been spoiled?

Really, Obama is the Cult of Personality. People need to get a whiff of why he voted for FISA: Axelrod's clients are ATT&T and other communications corporate clients. FISA was designed especially to protect AT&T from being sued for Illegally Wiretapping the phones of citizens.

Wake up before the Sound Bytes start controlling your sense of realty.

If she is voting for McCain and is even going as far as voting for him then she should lose whatever position she holds with the DNC. She clearly does not hold the same values as the Democratic party and does not deserve anything from them.

She's calling him elitist, and she's a Rothchild, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

I sure hope that the DNC boots her from that committee before she even gets a chance to make that endorsement.

What a short minded person to claim: I don't like him. I thought she will say something about Obama's policies that she doesn't like. She has a different motive to support a republican offering the same policies as Bush, and who is against the women right to choose. I will respect her if she reveals her true motives; however, based on what I read about her so far, she does not have the intellectual capacity to do so: what a hypocrite and looser.

that's what she sounds like; I am sure she thinks everybody likes her because of her money. What a pathetic looser!!

No surprise here, of course she will go for McSame, as McSame supports Big Business and Lobbyists....just look at his campaign staff. This woman has a nerve calling Obam an elitist being the CEO of EL Rothschild and married to an international banker. This woman is the elitist, not Obama. Another whacko!

Who is this person and why do we care? Another non news story. And speaking of Elitists she should stop talking. Besides wouldn't you rather have an educated man(which the right has hicjacked as elitists) or a man with no education?

Seriously, not to play this card, but she really sounds like a racist. For real.

This is exactly why Hillary lost the primary. It wasnt because of Hillary policies it was because of her supporters making Hillary look elitist and do as i say and not as i do kind of attitude. They choose people over policy and that my friends is why she lost. I feel sorry for Hillary though because I dont think its something she can control.

~~~~~ TO TISH~~~~~~~~~

"Obama doesn't need her he has millions of supporters!!! She can take her big mouth and her money!! Who needs her!!!"

It's this attitude of Obama supports that is costing Obama the election. His numbers are dropping daily even in "very blue" states. You bloggers said the same things about all of the Hillary supporters while she was running and shortly thereafter. NEWSFLASH you do need this supporter of Hillary and every other one in the country if you want Obama to win. Obama was very arrogant in not choosing Hillary as his VP and if he loses this election he only has himself to blame. The fact is Sarah Palin is exciting. She's new and she's exciting. Joe Biden brings no excitement to the ticket. It's like adding another Grandpa, who although a great man doesn't add any energy. Obama has always been the media's golden boy, but now Sarah is stealing the show!

I'm a 46 years old working mom and a Hillary fan. To me, there's no comparison between Hillary and Pilan: Hillary put her family 1st while Bill was in trouble. Pilan was too busy catching her life time chance to care about her 17 years old daughter. If she doesn't care about her daughter, how can I count on her to care about mine? Hillary worked hard in 18 months to get the votes, Pilan takes advantages to be on the GOP ticket 1st and then towards her rail goal -President; I'm not an Obama fan but I'm going to vote for him simply because I don't trust Pilan.

I'm sorry. Who is actually running for the presidency on the Republican ticket? If people, women in particular, are voting for the Republican ticket because John McCain opted for Palin to garner Senator Clinton's 18 million votes then we are all stupider than I thought. Don't be duped people, we know Senator Clinton and Sarah Palin is no Senator Clinton. Some might call it a shrewd move on Palin McBush's part. However, I find it desperately sad. By the way, McBush needs to stop hidding behind Palin's skirts, and let's talk issues.

Are we voting for a legacy or for our future? If the latter, then Obama is the clear choice.

Forester, you should realize that you have the free will of choice, if you don't like obama for your own person reasons, thats up to you, mccain is there waiting for the likes of your kind with both arms open, i personnally don't like him, i think he is too old and unhealthy and latetly all he can tell Americans is his out-dated military stories, he is obvoiusly out of touch and out of ideas, maybe you might be of help to him, so please feel free.

WOW! This lady is calling Obama an elitist? I guess Obama's plan for raising taxes on millionaires scares her, as she (and McCain) may have to reduce their muliti-mansion, jet-setting lifestyles a little. Or is it that he's too black, or too male? RIDICULOUS – don't these people listen to what is coming out of their mouths?

This is great news. Obama's presidency would set a bad example for our young people because it would show that people can advance their career without any real experiences and achievement but only pretty and empty words. Women (and men) who cherish the true American values will not vote for Sen. Obama.

Obama should have picked Hillary for VP.; then it could be the battle of pant suits.

Oh no, Lady de Rothschild thinks that Obama is an elitist! Clearly, the issues that matter in this election are irrelevant to her ladyship, but they are drastically important to the average American who is not a member of the British peerage. Milady, go back to your parlour games...and don't worry, if Obama is elected you won't have to invite him for tea.

Elitist? Please let her go on TV, she can only help Obama by endorsing McCain.

She's not the only one!!!!

Barack Obama doesn't want my vote.

So be it.

They dont need her at Obama's Camp!!!!!!!!!!!

John McPain said "Her main reason: "I don't like him." Is that because he is a man or black man?"

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

What is wrong with you? If you think you are helping Obama's campaign out by calling somone a racist just because they aren't voting for him are misinformed or just downright stupid. Racist do exist in this country but they are not John McCain supporters, they are people exactly like you.

Being educated, rational and fair makes you an elitist, while being ignorant, scared and hypocritical simply exemplifies your small-town values. Awesome. Cool country.

Dem's stop your crying she just figured out Obama for what he is a phony. He has no experience running anything and made his biggest mistake shunning Clinton and he will pay for that. A community organizer is nothing compared to governor of Alaska. McCain is popular for working with Dem's and Republican's to get things done and that's what America wants, someone to stop all the fighting and work together to fix the country and the polls are showing it. Obama also is going to lose a lot of NRA votes as they will endorse McCain and Palin. Ohio is experiencing a lot of excitement for McCain Palin.

The nerve of such a person calling Obama an elitist. What can it mean other than that he has had the best education possible in Amertica, and is a clear, subtle thinker. She has more money than God and homes internationally. And she calls him an elitist?!? This is utterly perverse.

Such a myopic decision Forester has made. Because "I don't like him," I am going to defect to the party whose ideals are completely different than mine. On the other hand, the Republicans have perfected the "cut off my nose to spite my face" act so I suppose she is going where she belongs.

Well, i don't understand her reasoning but she is free to do what she wants. I wonder what Hillary thinks though? If i was in Hillary's shoes i would come out publicly and let her supporters know what she thinks about this. I think Hillary would be wise to dump this person from her inner circle and of course the Democratic party needs to boot her off the team. Why can't Dems be a little more faithful like the GOP. Oh well what can you do?

I sure hope Obama wins, not because he is a Dem, but because he is just a better person.
Take care

Lynn Forester de Rothschild is EXACTLY the kind of person who should not be allowed to vote.

Apparently if you are smart and graduate from Harvard, these days that means your an elitist. whatever happened to the days when people wanted elite smart people to run their government??? Why is everyone so obsessed with having some ordinary guy(or gal) that they would feel comfortable having a beer with? Do people just want to feel better about themselves? Like they have a shot to be president too?

This is awesome watching the disgusting left-wing party break down. Welcome to the good side Lynn, the winning side. BO is NOT trustworthy and even dems are coming to their senses. Maybe you guys should stop spitting vile nonsense and running people away from your party.

who cares, a multi millionaire with an aristocratic last name talking about people who are elitists. Lynn, we don't care what you think, you are an idiot and we hope you leave the country for good. And I was a staunch hillary supporter.

This is ridiculous. This voter trusts McCain and Palin more than Obama and Biden? Has she been following the campaign? Almost every media outlet has called out McCain and Palin for their lies.

And a member of the de Rothschild family is claiming that Obama–a candidate who just paid off his student loans–is elitist? And all of this at the same time that the US economy literally is crashing? If this is the type of thoughtlessness–and personal pique–that motivates American voters, then we truly deserve what we get.

Ms. de Rothschild, when I lose my job, my house, and the value in my investment funds, can I come live in one of your foreign homes?

We're with you Ms. Rothschild! As a member of the DNC seing firsthand, the demise of democracy at the RBC, caucas fraud, nominating denial for Hillary and forced, fixed roll call vote – not following the will of the people , would be enough to make anyone run to McCain/Palin. I know I and many others will be joining you. PUMA

What a brave lady to buck the anointed Obama. Didn't Obama literally say he didn't need Hillary supporters? This woman is doing the same as me.....defecting until we clean up the Democrat Party. I'll be voting for McCain in '08 as well. I'm no longer a Democrat. The far left has taken over. I'm not comfortable and my gut is telling me things are not adding up with Obama. I read his book and he contradicts himself all the time when questioned about his past.

I can't wait to vote.

Anyone not for voting for me is racist and I will bring my wrath upon them. My disciples are just and fair... as long as you fall in line and accept me as your one and true God.

So, she is basing her decision on her dislike of Obama personally. She hasn't said he can't do the job; she just doesn't like him. With thinking like that, she sounds like she should be a republican anyway.

Look her up she is the epitome of rich "ELITIST". I guest that Obama just is not the type of person she would let in her country club. Just another bigot with no substance.

Expect more Democrats to endorse the McCain/Palin ticket in these closing days.

As a Hillary supporter I and millions of other voters remember EXACTLY what kind of sleazy slime ball campaign Obama ran against her all the way to the day of the elections the Obama camp and it's supporters slimed the voting process by chastising African Americans if they didn't vote for Obama.

Thank you Mrs. Rothschild, for going above your party to make sure the right candidate is elected into office this November.

she isn't the only one

HILLARY in 2012

what makes Barack Obama is simply, Obama is solely accountable to the people, not the corporations and special interest groups...Palin likes to say how they will shake up Washington, Obama will fix Washington....while McCain likes to say "country first?. Obama is country first in his actions...

what exactly is an elitist?? palin, obviously not - uneducated and dumb (different things), self proclaimed red neck, etc. but this chick, mccain, bush, cheney . . . . hate to break it to you, but anyone who is running seriously for president, who went to harvard, naval acadamy, law school, has millions upon millions . . . is, compared to % of us, an elitist. frankly i'd rather have the "elite" ie - above average in every way - running the country, not someone who is in way over her head.

Its a free country, she can do what she wants. I am sure there are Republicans who dont like McCain who will vote for Obama. Such is life. The end story is who wins, not who gives money. I gave money as a small individual but you dont cover small people. Just the big shots like this who get undue attention.

To everyone in this ticker:
People have every right to vote for whatever appeals to them.
Many people are voting for Obama because he's black, some women are voting for Sarah because she's a women.
Others vote for wanting Government Handouts.
Some people vote for Issues or even because of a preference for 1st lady.
Respect people's decision as I respect yours.
McCain 2008 / Hilary 2012 vs Palin

if she was a real democrat, supporting the nominee shouldn't be a problem. this decision is all about race. why can't we just come out and say it. if hillary had won the nomination, white democrats would be counting on the black vote to get her in the white house, but a black democratic can't get your support. why don't you tell it like it is, you would rather support the white man instead of the more qualified black man. take the freaking sheet off for once in your life.

Lynn, let me ask you one question. How many 'average' Americans spend their time living between New York and London? Probably less than 1/2 of 1%. Lynn Forester de Rothschild, you have got to be one of the biggest hypocrites of all time to call Senator Obama an elitist.

another personality voter. Easily guided by negative ads.

To all moderate dems, come on in the water is warm. The dem party has been hijacked by the liberal left wing of your party. From weak national defense, 100% socialism, and anti-free speech the left has stolen your party. While Reps and mod dems may not agree on every issue. I think most of us can agree that a strong national defense, free speech, and capitalism are good ideas to form a partnership on. So come on over. McCain will anger the far right as much if not more as the far left in the coming years. He is not really a conservative like Bush no matter what the lhardcore left or the MSM say. So if you want things to change but are afraid of embracing hard core socialism and all the evils that come from that, vote for McCain this year.

She says her main reason is that she 'doesn't like' Obama. Sweetie, you don't have to LIKE someone in order to vote for them....if you actually had policies you believed in. Which, this woman clearly doesn't. Anyone else notice, that McPalin found another 'woman gimmick' to announce within 48 hours of the tide turning back to Obama. THIS IS A GIMMICK. Do NOT be distracted.

Donate. Volunteer. Spread the truth.

Obama\Biden

good luck with that.

I think its pathetic that CNN has opted not to let individuals on the ticker comment about the insubordinate Palin in her home state of Alaska, where apparently everyone doesn't love her.

Headline:Prominent Hillary Clinton Supporter Joins the Losing Team

I'm sure hubby being an INTERNATIONAL BANKER has nothing to do with the choice.

Probably because Obama is an elitist, and has given every indication that he is an elitist and no indication that he is not an elitist.

Oh dear, the salt-of-the earth Rothchild woman finds Obama "elitist." Well, as Mencken said, "I confess I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing."

She makes over 250K right!? What rich, elitist in their right mind would NOT support the team that will give them less taxes. GO FIGURE

This woman sits on the platform committee . . . god I hope she gets railed by Dean. Clearly she doesn't care anything about the party platform!

Wow, I'm impressed. Let me switch my vote to John McCain right away!! haha This story is useless.

Obama and Hillary have almost no policy differences, whereas the differences between Obama's and McCain's policies are HUGE. I feel sorry for this Hillary supporter. She is not using her mind, obviously.

It's really sad to see the race comong down to gender and race. It is 2008 right?

I read on CNN today that Bin Laden is not running al Qaeda's day-to-day operations...The word is that he quit in order to head-up Obama's campaign efforts in the Middle East...

At least she is telling the truth for the people that question if Obama is ready to be President. He came out of nowhere and is very smug and feels he deserves to be President this election. He is going to spend close to 3/4 of a billion $ to try to get it. Listening to him I do not trust him as well. Oh by the way Obama, say hi to Commie Jane Fonda and the has been singer Barbra at your elieist $28,500 per person dinner.....wish I could afford that much for a night out rubbing elbows with the rich and un-famous. McCain/Palin 08

who? why do we care? How can someone I never heard of have a spokesperson and make the top of the political ticker?

John,

My Blackberry is not working. Do you repair them too, or just invent them?

irony –

Here's a little news flash (sound familiar) – It's NOT the governors 's job to create jobs.

I'm quite sure most (not all – obviously) Alaskans are quite capable of finding/creating their own jobs

someone who married into money with the last name de rothchild is calling obama elitist??

good riddens to you. jump on that sinking ship as fast as you can. and don't try to come crawling back when mccain loses!!

Major legislation authored by Sen. Obama:

I see the paid Obama bloggers are busy online tonight. Lynn's endorsement of McCain is sadly just another example of the many Clinton Democrats who have decided to put Country before Party – the Obamabots are obviously running scared and they should be.
McCain/Palin '08
Hillary 2012

She is a business owner. What do you think the corporations will do when Obama increases their taxes?

1. They will look to move their business to another country....resulting in more lost jobs.
2. They will cut jobs to compensate for the decreased profit.
3. They will increase prices to compensate for the loss of profit.

Having a tax cut is all well and good....but what good does it do if you do not have a job?

I'm so mad at Obama for not choosing Hillary as VP. Why oh why snub unity and possibly cost us the election.

I don't like Obama either- but I WILL vote for him ONLY because he has a D by his name and I can never support the GOP.

Hey tish,NC-you're a bot-why so angry?????

Great News!!!-Watch others follow!!!-Boy this election is fun!!!!-DNC is having MAJOR BUYERS REMORSE!!!! and BO and all the bots are quite scared

NO WAY NO HOW N O B A M A!!!!

@irony: gas prices and unemployment have gone up everywhere, not just Alaska. Is it any coincidence that in the two years Palin has been governor, the Democrats have controlled congress? Who's to blame? Gas prices have gone up from $2.50 to up past $4 since the Dems took majority in both houses. They're the ones who make the laws, smart one.

Millionaires calling other millionaires elitist; I think the term should be saved for use by people who are not millionaires. Similar to the term blacks won't let anyone else call them except themselves. Said in all seriousness. It's the pot calling the kettle black. This woman jet sets between New York and London. And has how many homes? Who knows? She hangs around presidents, prime ministers and royalty. One of which Conrad Black, called his birth country of Canada an "an oppressive little world". He was later convicted of criminal fraud charges, but this down to earth woman feels sorry for Lord Black. When will the madness stop in this campaign? Or are people in general this ingenuous.

If Fiornia is so smart, then why isn't she still at Hewlett Packard ?

Hey
irony ,
..Don't ya think it's odd that you speak of jobs to Alaska,.yet your man obama and Nancy are against drilling, that the people of Alaska want, that will bring thousands of jobs to Alaska?! BTW,...check gas prices since the dems have been voted in,..and hey,..while your at it,..checkout the job loss since the dem's have been voted in,..and hey, while you're at it check out ANYTHING the dem's have accomplished since voted in!

John McPain,

Don't like him because he's sneaky, devious, and has terrorist friends.

Boy, a lot of angry democrats on this one. I guess it hurts to hear people from your own party defect, but at least they are smart enough to jump of the Obama boat before it completely sinks. Maybe you'll can stay afloat by hanging on to the slim sliver of hope you have that Obama will win in NOV.

Survival of the Fittest, I won't let the door hit me on the way out. Oh and maybe Barack has a chance in about 50 years! lol. ANYBODY HOME! WE DON'T LIKE HIM!!!!

This is the part of the story where democrats become bitter and start making excuses for why they are going to lose. Face it. Democrats picked the wrong nominee, Obama picked the wrong running mate, and McCain is going to win.

What Alice in Wonderland world are we in that a multi-millionaire woman married to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild says she thinks Barack Obama is an "elitist"!!! She was on a DNC committe because she had big bucks and did fund-raising, sad to say. It will be wonderful to hear John McCain, who just denounced Obama for attending a fund-raiser with Barbara Streisand, stating that he, John McCain, wanted to stay with the workers in Ohio, embrace the support of Mrs. Evelyn de Rothschild! I'm sorry, but this is the United States of America and we kicked out the royalty a while ago!

Welcome back from the dark side Lynn.

There is a cure for obamitis and you found it.

Enjoy the sunshine.

Tish, NC... You are absolutely right!!! Who needs her? The fact that she would spit in Hillary's face, by tossing aside all that Hillary has accomplished over the years, because she can't TRUST Obama? McCain's first wife trusted him, and look where that got her, and Palin has so many skeletons in her closet! PULEEEESE!!!.

Hey, Lynn Forester de Rothschild (that is the most elitist name I have ever heard), no one NEEDS your vote. So, why don't you exercise your right to NOT VOTE!!! And while you're at it... admit that you don't trust Obama because he's black.

I had to laugh! This is the best "vote of confidence" that McCain's camp has? She's voting for McCain because frankly, she doesn't like Obama? That's hilarious!

Obama/Biden '08 -
Please people – don't be afraid to balance your emotions with brains. Obama will make us work hard, but the reward will be great.

More proof that Hillary cared nothing for her constituents. She stayed in so long, and so aggressively smeared Obama with misleading statements and outright lies, that many of her supporters can't move on without trying to exact revenge. For many, the answer to Hillary's question "were you in it for me, or for my policies" is exactly the same as hers; they were in it for Hillary. Why such misguided loyalty to someone who obviously never cared about those loyal constituents?

It is a free country she has the right to vote for whoever she wants. It is ironic that she is married to a sir and is calling Obama elitist.

Another Downplay Day For Dems.

Don't worry I'm sure Hillary isn't behind this...

"Obama is an elitist, because he aims for a position that belongs to us super rich."

This is bad, this is really bad

How could it be a hard decision? You said " frankly I don't like him", enough said!

"I don't like him." Is that because he is a man or black man?"

You guys do that so easy. How many people do you hate or think is a rude because they're a Christian. You people are the bigots!

This is so irrelevant!!!! Who cares. Lets talk about the issues.

Obama is in trouble!!!

I was a supporter of Hillary Clinton and even contributed to her campaign. However, Senator Obama is too far left and too much of a socialist and can not suppoort such a man. His policies are very thin in solution, it is all just talk. The Democrats have been in charge of Congress for over 3 years but have done absolutely nothing to help Americans and our ecomony. I will be voting for
McCain/Palin.

The Democrat's compaign is slowly but surely collapsing.
You can fool some of the people all of the time etc etc and with
the Democrats, its all words – no substance

Elistist – arrogant – smug

She is just the tip of the iceberg. Come November 4th the Titanic that is Obama will be at the bottom of the ocean.

It;s really quite funny to listen to all of you OBAMA-MANIACS go on like you do! Your defensive posture is very telling and such a window into your whole party. Do you have any idea how scared all of you sound? You are very likely going to lose this election because of it.
BTW, has anyone heard from Joe Biden recently? You know, he's that guy that is your cndidates running mate.
Is it any wonder that he's never been able to garner more than a few thousand votes when running for President?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
What are you going to do when McCAin Palin reach the White House? Oh thats right, you will whine for 4 years like good little liberals.

Someone needs to be forever kicked out of the democratic party..........

There are a few people out there who support McCain and Palin. These are the voters who are easily fooled and even more easily led.

Is there a reason why this made the news? It is sad that any person would cast a vote based on like/dislike. What happened to the issues at hand? The economy, Iraq, foreign policy and future American engagements, jobs, etc. I did not like Hilary Clinton, but she stood for many things I believe in. Had Hilary been running I would be voting for her come November. My big issues: Reproductive rights , Iraq and the economy.

"Who needs her and what is the point CNN of giving her the spotlight of voicing her opinion!!"

Cuz it's news Tish.

What, you only like "your" news?

Make Obama reveal what he discussed with Iraqi officials about delaying the troop withdrawls for the election. Does he think this is a game?

Obama Lied and Troops Died!!!
McCain/Palin 08

Good! We don't need or want you anyway!

If you all the liberals think why should you trust McCain (a person who has tons of proven records) then why you think that we the Republicans should trust Obama (a person with zero proven records)?

Who is more naive? You answer.

First of all, she probably only backed Clinton during the primary because she knew Clinton would have a hard time during the general election if elected. As a Republican woman she was just backing Clinton so that the Republicans would run against her. If you didn't notice she gave the same old elitist statement the Republican have been trying to push as her reason. Sounds fishy to me.

Who?

Completely irrelevant. And the elitist remark? Pot calling kettle black?

I'd like to see Hillary Clinton give Forester de Rothschild her $100,000 back in a press conference across the street. This election is about issues and who would best lead the country with the values Hillary campaigned for. That person is Obama. To vote for anyone else it to say you don't care about Hilllary's values.

GREAT! Guess she will be called a "racist" by the obama gang – anyone that will not vote for obama must be a racist! Back to that old trick.

Another hypocrite who claimed that she trusted Hillary's judgment, but obviously wasn't telling the truth.

Sounds like just another rich person looking out for her personal fortune. She may not like Barack but, what is to like about John McCain?

We have witnessed these past few weeks an old man that seems confused, uncaring and simply out of touch with reality.

This lady may vote for John McCain but, a lot of working republicans are going to vote for what is best for the country and that is Barack Obama.

This woman's husband is a KNIGHTED member of the ROTHSCHILD family, and she is calling the self-made son of an immigrant an elitist? Reality check lady, your blood is bluer than Vermont.

Smart WOMAN!!! She knows a FRAUD when she sees one.

Hillary will do what she must – for the party – but – we all know her heart is NOT in it.

McCain/Palin

Well, if ever there were someone who knows about being an elitist, it's multi-millionaire Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild...

et tu brute?

Just love watching you all foam at the mouth. What are you going to do when McCain & Palin get elected – move to Canada? I pray you do!

Now the log jam breaks. Leader of the Democratic party see Obama for what he is, a gibe talking empty suit. In these trouble times we cannot afford an inexperience president. There no time for on the job training. Ms. Rothschild is a true American when the future of America is on the line.

So? That's her right. She probably feels like a loser.

What a bunch of whiners you people are. Oh, I forgot. The Democrats are a club and once you no longer tow the party line, off with your head. You guys make me laugh.

It seems confusing to me that someone with the last name "de Rothschild" would criticize someone else for elitism. If my memory of history serves, the Rothschilds were the wealthiest banking family in Europe for most of the 19th century, and the wealthiest family ever, if their value is adjusted for inflation. Their vast holdings - and the titles that accompany it - last until today.

So I don't think a European banking family is fit to determine which American leaders count are "elitist". We are all peasants compared to them.

Who cares? I hope you all can see that she is just trying to give Hillary another shot in 2012. Good luck with that!

This shows you that some of Hilary's millionaire supporters are there for what they will gain. She is a flake

I see now why she's endorsing McCain....remember when McCain said that he would have Democrats to his office if he's elected. How did McCain courted Dobson, the evangelical and conservatives? The spoonful of sugar makes the McCain go down.Some republicans can't swallow McCain, his aides gave them syrup so that they can swallow him, the syrup is Palin.It really works.I'm registered republican,but I can't swallow McCain even with the help of syrup.

Wow, "Franly I just don't like him." I find it quite difficult to dislike someone that I do not know but most importantly, whatever happen to love thy neighbor as you love thy self....is she saying that she hate who she has become?

We win. You lose.

Suck on it, Dems. You just lost someone really important. And who is able to give a lot of money and fundraise a lot for the RNC and for McCain.

Should have thought about it before spurning Hillary.

Your vote and endorsement will be replaced by a more honorable gentleman by the name of Colin Powell. Now take that!!!

It appears that the ship is stinking real fast for Obama.

BFD. The Illuminati votes McCain. Shocker.

She splits her time out of the country. Good, endorse McCain, and then stay in London.

GREAT – Smart WOMAN!!!! – Guess the obama gang will resort to calling this lady a "Racist" – back to that old trick. Anyone will not vote for this Fraud must be a racist. How can Bill Clinton even think of campaigning for this guy????? Hillary will do what she must – but – we can all see her heart is NOT in it. Like Hillary & Biden told us – "Obama is NOT qualified to lead our country" – and we believed them.

McCain/Palin

Mrs Lynn Whatever, Guest what? We are glad that you made this decision. Please don' t take it personal because frankly WE DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER. Lets see "CEO of EL Rothschild, married to international banker and lives in London and New York“ and you have the guts to call someone "an elitist". Get a life lady! Policies and personality. STUPID!

Sounds like someone who is accustomed to always getting her way and when she doesn't, it's "I'll take my toys and go home." Speaking of home(s), it sounds like that is certainly something she has in common with John McCain – a lot of homes. "Lady" Rothschild calling Obama elitist, now that's laughable.

Ok, this elitist thing has got to go. SO now everyone who works hard and attends an Ivy League School (none of which I have) is an elitist? No, an elitist is someone who belittles others for not knowing fine wine or cuban cigars. An elitist is someone who deliberately makes you feel unworthy for the person you are. He may be many things, but Obama isn't the least bit elitist. Newsflash–it's ok for people to have more money or go to a better school if they try for it. Really, it's ok. So please stop with the empty rhetoric, particularly if you only endorsed Clinton because she was a woman, and that's why you're moving over to McCain/Palin who have been on every news channel being debunked.

Number one, how can a black man in America possibly be an elitist. Like he could ever gain membership into a wealthy white men's club.
Number two, I think you should have to disclose your IQ results if you originally supported Hilary Clinton and now your saying that you back McCain. That's not even a 180, that beats Tony Hawk's record.

She's married to someone with "Sir" as his title and "Rothchild" as a surname, she has residences in New York AND London (two of the world's most expensive cities) and calls the child of a single mother who spent considerable time in third world countries "elitist". Please give me a break.

Who cares? What's more important is that McCain-Palin are currently doing everything in their power to thwart a bipartisan ethics investigation by way of political clout, refusing to honor subpoenas and generally ignoring the rule of law. Sound familiar? This ticket makes me sick.

Voting for McCain means you either don't have a brain or you don't have a brain!

the rothschilds calling obama elitist? give me a break...

The rich old bag is worried about what will happen to her tax breaks and her ability to buy her way into our government. I'm a simple white guy who can tell the difference between an agent of change and someone who will change to get a vote.....I'll vote for Obama and encourage my friends to do the same...Cheers

This woman is a loser, who cares???

Finally CNN is fair for a bit. Attacking Republicans all the time is not too good for CNN. Anyway, we need more of this no-none-sense individual to balance out this race. Obama gets all the advantages that any candicate can ask for in US history, from unpopular republican adminstration to liberal media, the economy, the Democratic winning momentum, the Internet age, etc.

If he's not winning – it's really, really dump of the master and followers and all the wasted money that Obama raised.

That is horrible. LOL! Good bye we don't want you. JUDAS!!!

Irony, do your homework before you post. Alaska's unemployment rate has always been higher than the U.S. average. In fact before Palin became Governor it was 2% higher.
This is why dummies vote Democrat.

This person clearly vote for Hillary the person and not what Hillary stood for. Lynn is most probably a closet racist and think powerful African Americans are all elitists just because of the color of their skin and the fact that they are successful. Despicable traitor....we don't need the likes of her in our party.

Obama/Biden 08!!!

Sorry Lynn you could not possibly be a democrat and support the McCain/Palin ticket. Not sure what your motives are but it does not reflect the ideas of the democratic party. I suggest you change your party affliation and becomre a Republican. We really don't need you.

Who's an elitist? Seriously?

I cannot believe that someone with the name of Rothschild is calling someone else "elitist." Come on. The true meaning is that she likes tax cuts and does not like people of color. That is clear to me.

There is no way she would abandon Democratic Party principles, except for those reasons.

I don't understand all these millionaires accusing Obama of being an elitist. I don't know what the term "elitist" means to these people. Are we to believe that the CEO of El Rothschild is woman of the common people? It's like members of the New York Yankees accusing the Florida Marlins of overspending on free agents. It makes no sense.

I'm sorry but who is she again? Why is she taking this so personal? She better hope Obama don't win in November because she's a goner as the DNC Platform Committee.

Oh yeah!! Obama hatred coming in 5...4....3....2....1!

Nothing like casting your vote based on a childish vendetta. Obama may just be too good for the level of intellect our country is proving to have. “I feel like he is an elitist", this person says. Meanwhile, she is married to an international banker with businesses all over the globe. What a joke.

There is an old psychological saying: you pinpoint in others what you don't like about yourself.

So someone who is am millionaire several times over and married to someone who has been knighted is claiming Obama is an elitist. As such she's endorsing a man who is so wealthy he doesn't know how many houses he owns?

What is wrong with these people? And they claim a cult of personality for Obama? I supported Hillary during the campaign and I was upset with her loss, so much so I was considering McCain. Then I pulled my head from my backside and realized I'd be cutting off my nose to spite my face.

Pathetic doesn't even scratch the surface... The worse part of this is that this person has some influence...

A guy raised by a single parent and his grandparents at times on foodstamps, who went to school on scholarships and worked as a community organizer VS a guy who is married to a multi-millionaire and cannot remember how many houses he owns. Which one sounds more like an elitist to you? That excuse just does not fly.

That's nice... clearly this woman is an idiot and can't see through the lies that McShame and Failin spit out. Whatev, Obama doesn't need her anyways.

Obama/Biden '08!

personality conflict.
who cares about this idiot?

Wow!! Rothschild is the Elitist!

Rothschild is a super rich old-money family. For her to say she doesn't like someone because they are elitist is like Chris Rock saying he doesn't like black people.

She can't name an issue that she disagrees with Obama on, she just "doesn't like him". Considering Obama and Clinton were together on almost all of the issues, I wonder why she doesn't like him? I'm gonna guess its not because of his elite upbringing...

Obama grew up the hard way, far from an elite childhood. Obama was raised by a single mother and does not come from a family of international bankers like Rothschild and McCain.

Rothschild is such a loser!

I really can't understand how a person could support Clinton and then turn around and vote for McCain. they stand for completely different things. I voted for Clinton, but when Obama got the nomination he got my full support.

WHO CARES! She just hope Obama will lose coz if he wins, she'll be one of those top 1% that will get taxed up in her...

I say TAX BABY TAX FOR those freeloaders!

Well if that isn't the coffee calling the kettle black then I don't know what else is.

At least Hillary can see that this phony never believed in her policies or platform and was only behind her because she was a woman. She is an extremely shallow person. She needs to get her elitist rear end to London (where she splits her time) and keep it there. She wouldn't be missed by anyone here.

Stupid endorsement by a clueless person... I guess if you're a CEO and don't have to live here, Bush-McCain-Cheney-Palin doesn't seem half bad.

Hillary needs to give her a call.

Yes, you don't like him because he doesn't take money from interest groups which means you won't be number one on his list. And how funny a CEO is calling someone else "elitist".

Self before Country. What a shame.

Go...Whatever.. How will you ever face Hillary again?? The bloom is off the Palin rose anyway...Its over.... Obama/Biden the bridge to the future...Mccain /Palin the bridge to no where...

She was a corporate lawyer, telecommunications entrepreneur, became the third Lady Rothschild when she married Sir Rothschild, honeymooned at the Clinton White House, pals around with Tony Blair and his wife, and has been called the "flashiest hostess in London" by Conde Nast. And Barack Obama is the elitist. LOL, LOL, LOL, good one!

The pot is calling the kettle black?? When you look in the mirror what do you see? Clearly you missed Clinton's convention speech, unless maybe you thought she wasn't talking to you? I think NOT!!! Too bad that a DNC membership was wasted on an unworthy member. This election is too important to waste on back-sliders.

You have got to be kidding me.

This woman is married to somebody who's first name is "Sir", and its Obama who is the elitist.

Yup, Obama is certainly uppity. You put him back in his place in the back of the bus, Lynn.

Hypocrasy "...and every Democrat who does it is an Elitist? Pityful…."
Do the Democrats have any candidates the did in fact 'pull themself up by the bootstraps'? The context of your comments suggests your are trying to defend BHO. His advancement up the economic ladders could be interpreted as gaming the system(s).

LADY Rothschild (and I use that term loosely) can go back to eating her bon bons in between the countries she lives in. go ahead and back mcsame and impalin – they totally deserve somone like you – only in it for themselves!! Who needs her- she is obviously a bigot and look who is calling Obam an elitist – that is the joke of the year! What a sore loser!

I am reublican and supporting Obama and she is also free to support Mccain. Its not big deal .

Good for her for speaking out and i hope more will follow

Or is it that she was born on third base, thinks she hit a triple, and is pissed off to find Jackie Robinson standing there too?

She does not like him??? is he worse than McCain? She should lose her membership on the DNC. Oppss, she is in the 2% that Obama wants to tax.

So LFdR, you're going to support a candidate that goes against everything Hillary stands for? That you even admit you don't like? Hope it works out for you. Oh and by the way, someone who is CEO of a worldwide corporate and splits her time between London and NYC, should be careful to through the elitist stone.

About time ,way to go.

Who cares you are putting your money on a dead horse. Good luck sucker.

What has the Republicans done for Lynn Forester de Rothschild to trust? They ran our economy into the ground. They deregulated completely under the bonehead idea that moneymakers will do more good than harm. We see how this stupid idea from Reagan has gotten us now into big trouble. They invaded the wrong country, putting us into extreme debt and loss of America lives. They had an Attorney General that operated not in the American people interests, but in Republican personal interests. They took away our privacy and rights. They tortured people.

McCain is Bush, Palin is Chenney and together they are another four years, except that they will take us into our first economic depression since the 1930s.

Sure Lynn Forester de Rothschild, there is a lot here to trust with Republicans and McCain.

Yipes!

Barack Obama has given clear articulations and presented plans on various issues, which anyone can see online. He has demonstrated his vision and clarity to what we need to run this country, to bring back our world standing, and it is in this presented clarity and intelligence where we can find our trust.

To find the strength in Barack Obama, you have to get outside of yourself and look at the facts.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, you confuse confidence and intelligence with elitism.

The guy whose dad left at age 3, raised by a single parent, who got into Columbia, then Harvard Law, then led the law review...is called the elitist?

I call it the American Dream.

Who cares who this woman supports. I am confused. She cannot trust him BECAUSE he is an elitist?? Ms. Rothschild should read a dictionary- I think under elitist she may find in parenthesis the word (Republican). May be she can hang out in one of McCain many homes. She's an idiot...

McCain can have the elitist....her, cindy & sarah will get along great.
Rothchild in-Fiorina out.

Sounds to me like a big money lady who doesn't care for a candidate that can't be bought...

Another CEO of a large corporation and one who obviously was only for Hillary because she was a woman and not for her because she agreed with her stance on issues. Another woman who does not believe in women's rights, just that that women should be in power regardless of what they believe. Bet she's a member of PUMA

Unbelievable, a ROTHSCHILD calling Obama an elitist!!! I just her family's swiss bank credentials and million dollar trust funds make them down to earth.

I'm laughing out loud at this foolish woman, more importantly who cares how she feels about the candidates (really newsworthy? i think not). Its obvious shes voting with her vagina and not her brain.

She would rather vote in spite because she didn't get the candidate she wanted, let her. When a rapist impregnates her and Palin forces her to keep the child through its term against her will i'll just be saying "I told you so".

Clintons made more damage to Obama than McCain!

She thinks he's elitist? This from Lady CEO de Rothschild. I've heard about her throughout the primaries and honestly why doesn't she just come out and say it: I don't like him because he's black and beat Hillary.

Of course she will use other superficial reasons for not supporting him, but when a Democrat has not turned at this point in the game to the Obama side the reason becomes clear.

Obviously she doesn't care about issues, policies, and so on.

irony, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that gas has gone up EVEN IN STATES WITH DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS

if you're a democrat and don't like obama don't vote. voting for mccain is sufficient justification for losing any credibility as a member of the DNC.

i still fail to see how obama is more elitist than hillary and mccain. unless elitist is code for something else.

hell hath no fury...

Now there is a lady who knows how to pick a winning team. I hope you Obamabots have medical help standing by 7 weeks from tonight in case you start hyperventilating from the stress of his defeat..

Another Democrat has seen the light! As more of Obama's shady past trickles out between now and election day, more and more Democrats are goig to jump ship.

**MCCAIN*PALIN'08**

Anyone who goes from the core belief of Dems to vote Republican really are out of touch with REALITY-–Dah you are really a Republican in sheep's clothing! Beware of this type of prejudice!

Elitist?!!!!!! BUWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Her last name is actually de Rothschild, she's the CEO of an international company and splits her time between New York and London. Oh yeah, she's a woman of the people! Call a spade a spade lady (cuz we know you won't vote for one)

Bad news for the chosen one. Obama is fading....

I read her statement statement over and over and I'm still sitting here trying to find the validity in Lynn De La whatever reasons as to switch to a candidate who is completely OPPOSITE of what Hillary Cllinton stood for. You were on the bandwagon apparently...so we don't mind dropping you off!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA! WE ARE IN FOR A NIGHTMARE IF YOU THINK FOR ONE SECOND THE REPUBLICANS ARE OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST.

I know this won't get posted but I feel better now.

I am offended that you call her a clinton backer......clearly she is not!

Doesn't she realize that McCain is the complete opposite of Hilary?

Big business is supporting McCain?? IMPOSSIBLE!

Just a typical female voter angry at Obama even as Obama slams Sarah Palin for not being experienced.........Sounds like Obama does not like women. I just love the way his folks just don't understand women as they try to scare them with the abortion issue. Most women I know don't care about abortion but do care about respect.

I am so sick of the race card. I'm not voting for the guy because he is a skilled waffler, flip flopper or whatever kind of liar you want to describe. Obama is a skilled politician rather than a statesman or a commander-in-chief.

Apparently she was not planning to vote for Hillary based on her policies or her politics since McCain/Palin represent the polar opposite viewpoints. I can only guess that she was supporting Hillary solely on the fact that she is a woman. How very deep of her, to cast your vote based on genitalia.

By the way, I'm holding a press conference to announce my stance against excessive navy suits.

Elite, what is this ; these people just use words? So you dont like the guy ; just say that. Stop cluelessly using words where they dont fit. This must be lieing season, or quite possibly she has a case of Republicanitis

Did she just call him an elitist ? I think this woman needs to go back and look up ironic in the dictionary

Another rich elitist trying to call Sen. Obama an elitist. Wow!! Maybe the rich are really scared of Obama's tax plans........

well I'm glad she was honest that she did not like Obama.. That as good of reason to vote for McCain - no need to believe in McCain policy and no need to feel you trust McCain. Sad truth is alot of people think this way.

I would hate to be an employee with a CEO thinking like that - really inspires my performance > to know this person can call someone who has earned his way and elitist and not be laught at. What a shame. Some all hard working American will be uppity and elitist.

OK THEN, is she an American or Brit, it seems to me that she is playing a double agent and protecting her Money and the unfair trade practice that we here in America go through. So let me say this. She is just a Republican in the Democratic party. I will say this again. If McCain and Obama switched convention speeches McShame would be a sure win because Obama is for America and Americans, he IS NOT FOR JUST THE PEOPLE WITH MONEY..

I WONDER WHO THE REPUBLICAN ARE GOING TO TAXS WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE JOBS IN AMERICA.. I GUESS THE RICH WILL MOVE TO HMMMM LONDON.

A VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN IS A VOTE FOR AMERICA

Ummmm....who cares? My neighbor has been a Republican his whole life and is voting for Obama. Maybe this should be headline news as well.

Nevermind the fact that she says she "doesn't like Obama as a person". Because I'm sure she's met him and knows him well. If she's that stupid, then she should be voting for McCain!

She must be a racist for not endorsing Obama!
Traitor!!!

This person is not a Democrat... She's just an angry woman. Though it begs the question... where is Bill & Hillary in all this? Why aren't we seeing more riteous indignation from the Clintons.. ESPECIALLLY Hillary? Palin is exploiting the gap left by Hillary and Hillary has been tepid in responding.

Has it escaped anyones attention that if McCain get's the nod in 2008, then Hillary will have another run at it in 2012 (as opposed to 2016 if Obama gets in?)

The cult of Obamabots is already attacking Mrs Rothschild for daring to exercise her 1st Amendment rights. I ask them, why isn't she allowed to endorse whomever she wants? if she had endorsed Obama you would have been heaping praise on her. I think it takes a lot for her to endorse McCain. McCain/Palin 2008/2012, President Palin 2016/2020.

thanks but no thanks if we want this election we will will ourselfs

Hey Rothschild! TAKE A HIKE!!!

YES WE WILL!!!
Obama-Biden '08!!!

good for her...

She sounds like the one who is the elitist! Obama doesn't need her elitist 100 grand donations anyway; he makes millions from donation $100 and less!

Good Riddance! Someone who once endorsed Hillary and now endorses McCain belongs in the Republican camp. It's where all the flip-floppers go.

True democrats and Hillary supporters stay united under the Democratic party.

With a name like De Rothschild, she sounds like a woman of the people:). She's angry cause she just found out the limitations of her money. She probably thought Obama was going to come kiss her ring.

Mrs whatever your name is, news flash, you're extremely incosequential. We need neither your vote or money. Become a McSame Raiser....

Mrs. Rothschild, regular Americans do not care if you are supporting John McCain. This election is more important to us than it is to you, because we do not have the untold wealth or access to powerful leaders of industry and politics as you do.

So take your temper tantrums elsewhere, because YOU are the real elitist and just because you can twist arms in your insular world of wealth and privilege does not mean that Americans care at all about your political leanings.

Bah! Hahahahahaha. This is too funnny. Last time I checked, there were a lot of Republicans for Obama such as Dick Lugar and the form GOP Governor of VA who is campaigning for him soon. but why report on that when you can have another excuse to talk about Hillary, CNN?

This is TOO FUNNY. A woman with a name like Lynn Forester de Rothschild – calling Obama an elitist? I am with the above poster – don't let the door hit you in the rear end on your way to the McCain/Palin camp, "sweetie."

Bernie Moore-Knowles
Papa'aloa, Hawai'i

Hillary would have been unstoppable against McCain. But Obama is a joke and his supporters have very effectively turned off the other 60% of Americans, including the 10% that will decide this election.

I am so sick of hearing about who insignificant folk are backing. I would be ashamed to use "trust" and "like" as my reason for choosing a candidate.

The US looks so laughable to other countries – especially in regards to how we make political decisions.

Well I'm not voting for McCain because he wear too make navy blue suits.

As Hillary herself said, you are offending her. "NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN, NO PALIN!"

Whatever, who cares about your endorsement? I've never even heard of you...no one is going to be like "oh, now because this lady is endorsing McCain, I'm going to change my mind." Yeah, right...

What was this person doing in the Democratic Party? Trying to leverage a hostile takeover?

This is so good for US. Rothschild endorsement has just boosted
many people confidence in this election.

It's clear she is just in it for the internal plumbing, and not for Hillary or her policies. That is very disappointing, and maybe Hillary and the DNC should cut ties with her.

Good call Lynn. My family does not like him either. Congrats on making a sound and popular decision . Keep the money rolling in for the Republican candidates. The Democrats will run out of the welfare donors real soon ,with the market going in the tank. Thanks again

I thought Hillary told her supporters to stand behind Obama......I wonder what Hillary thinks about this turncoat!! A female Joe Lieberman????????

Again, No Moderation is given To CNN because of their Pro -Obama Support throughout this U.S.Election.

I am laughing as I read.. elitist? I do not care if she is a democrat or republican or liberal; the fact that she called Obama an elitist has racist undertones so evident that she is obliviously out of touch with Democratic ideology. Besides.. WHO is she calling an 'elitist?' she is married to an international banker, she is a CEO, and most likely a millionaire. Barack Obama just finished paying his student loans, and in his book he details how 'for the first 10 years of their marriage, Michelle and Barack's combined student loans were more than their mortgage.'

Hurray for Obama, the NON-elitist, most down to earth respectful man who PENNSYLVANIANS RELATE TO!

Obama/Biden 08!

It is always about who you can relate to ...... and obviously she relates better to 100 Million dollar McCain family with 9 houses......frankly I am glad she didn't like Obama. Obama's vision for future more relates to people that require public health care and basic economic support.

She must be the ones that McCain will give tax credits to. She is looking out for her own pocket. Hence her reason "I do not like him,"

SEE YA..

OBAMA /BIDEN will win this election.

Obama is an elitist, so she has chosen to go with seven-house, married-up McCain?

i'm with YOU lynn!

Good! Obby STINKS and people are starting to smell it!

As a true Hillary supporter, she should have done the one thing Hillary asked of her supporters and that was to vote for Obama. Hillary and Obama had the same thoughts on nearly every issue. Apparently she is looking for a personality contest.

whose calling who an elitist and what happened to peace, love, understanding and tolerance things she obviously does not want
her mentatlity just makes me and the people who support Obama work even harder to get him elected and get Social Justice

100% Awesome. The woman has major cajones.

Obama is not an elitist. It is elitist to have the ability to give a candidate 100 thousand dollars. It is elitist to operate an international company which surely pads her pockets well. And she is married to knight? Come on.

Clinton and Obama agree on almost every issue and are quite different than McCain. There is no logical reason for anyone who supported Clinton not to support Obama. In fact recent speeches seem to indicate that Obama is willing to implement Clinton's health care plan, something I'm sure her supporters would appreciate. Rothchild is a Benedict Arnold hiding her true reasons for not supporting Obama.

"CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker"

I think this says it all.... money talks... rich greed!

Frankly, it's a honest move. Her personality and life history are more aligned with McPalin than are with Obama/Biden (poorest senators in congress). She is none other than a gold digger that married a richer man 24 years her senior. and her best friend is Henry Kissinger, a very shrewd Republican of the olden days!

"When 67-year-old British banking scion Sir Evelyn Rothschild first set eyes on 44-year-old Lynn Forester at the 1998 Bilderberg conference—the matchmaker was none other than Henry Kissinger—she was already a woman of major means."

GOOD FOR HER. AT LAST SOME SENSE IN THE DNC

STOP with the Race Cards, it is no longer effective, Obama has abused it.

Obama is the WORST presidential candidate in history. No experience, no major accomplishments, no foreign policy experience, a big NOTHING. Part of Chicago corruption, terrorist friends, pathological liar.

How can you possibly trust this man?

Kudos to Ms Rothschild, for fighting the hype and standing firm as a Patriot.

FIGHT FOR AMERICA. mcCain/Palin 2008

That's rich. A Rothschild calling Obama elitist!

Good for Lynn! I think that the Democrats made a huge mistake and they will see in November. Lynn is just vocalizing in public what many Hillary supporters will do in the voting booths on Nov. 4. CNN actually reported something not pro-Obama...how interesting!!!

She needs to re-register as a republican and she needs to get a grip on REALITY. McCain-Palin is diametrically opposed to everything Hillary is for.
Ellitist such as this really belong with the likes of Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, George W Bush, and Newt Gingrich.

Pure Evil.

"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."

Uhh, can someone help me? What is an elitist ?????

Clearly Obama does'nt need her,after all,he has Babra and her Hollywood buddies paying $28,500 per seat to her her sing "Happy Days Are Here Again" to Obama. Only Millionaires allowed in to this FFFFunction ,even his wife makes $500,000 per year? Who needs another Millionaire? Do you think Barak will give Poor Old Joe a couple of Bucks to help him pay for his train fare?

More than likely she is counting upon those tax cuts for the wealthy should McCain be elected! Who cares!!!

She doesn't want to pay her taxes. If she can't trust john who lies out both sides of his mouth,then screw her.

She "feels" things? Where are the FACTS and EVIDENCE to support any position she wants to take? Are we really reduced to reporting what [insert famous person] "feels"? Is that what people should be basing their votes on and what the "news" media should be serving everyone as though it's informational filet mignon?

Sounds like she was a Republican in Democrat clothing all this time. And a rich one, too. Voting for Hillary just because she was a woman. To support Palin, after supporting Hillary, makes absolutely no sense. Two completely different policies and beliefs. Also, why do we care who she's voting for???

The sky is falling!!!! Next, we thing we know we'll elect a woman president and she'll be a Republican not a Democrat!

Her "elitist" comment is visbly phony. What's more elitist than bein a Rothschild? She's supporting McCain because his policies will make her even richer.

I love her as much as Sarah but I love Hillary first. Obama lost his campaign when chose Biden over Hillary.

Hey, only elite snobs eat with Barbra Streisand for $25K a plate. I don't even make that much a year.

"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."

Why is this not surprising?

Do we really want this country's deep financial problems to be solved by one of the Keating Five?

One of the richest women in the world and she dares call Obama an elitist. This woman obviously has serious personal issues. Plus, what is the big deal? The average voter in America has probably never heard of this woman and could not care less what she has to say. Another example of CNN trying to fill the useless final hours of the 24 hr news cycle.

Lynn Forester should stand with McCain as she wasn't a true Democrat anyway. I am so sick of hearing about people who wouldn't know loyalty if it bit them in the but. If she's married to a Rothchild then her middle name is Elitist! As the old saying goes 'it takes one, to know one." The DNC will be better off without her. Maybe the Palin-McCain ticket will give her a job making moose burgers while staring out Palin's kitchen window at Russia.

Obama 08!

It's so refreshing that a democrat is putting their country first,not their party.

Palin's two rallies out West were tightly controlled events. In Carson City, Nevada, on Saturday, Palin furiously signed autographs longer than she spoke.

This is not a beauty contest. Why is she signing autographs? This woman is in this race for the fame. Her and McShame are so out of touch it aint' funny.

I know the feeling. I cannot trust Obama either and will vote for McCain.
After the corruption Obama and the DNC showed during the primaries anybody with a conscience could not possibly vote for Obama. I know I cannot and will not vote Democrat again until the leadership and gang of four (Pelosi, Dean, Obama, Brazile) have resigned, retired, been jailed, or moved on to other crooked organizations. I want my old democratic party back where the people ran the party not a few corrupt officials. This is exactly why Obama is doing so badly. Oh and by the way, TOLD YOU SO................

Elitist? I bet Obama can tell you what the price of gas is and what he paid for it that last time he pumped his own gas into his own car. Forester and McCain may not have pumped their own gas or paid a mortgage payment in the last 20 years, but Obama is elitist. Give me a break.

This is such old news. She is one of the PUMAs. Why are you printing this now.........try to be semi fair in your reporting. This woman has been blubbering against Obama since Hillary lost.

I don't like a lot of people I work with but they do a great job!! Oh well... guess I should just quit my job huh... :::eye roll:::

Put your big girl pants on and be a democrat!!!

Good advice, really. Never vote for someone you don't like and can't trust...whoever it is.

GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!! PIG WITH LIPSTICK...AND TAKE YOUR BANKER HUSBAND AND "HOLDINGS" WITH YOU...YOU CAN USE THEM TO LINE THE DOG CAGE FLOOR WITH IF MC CAIN AND "VIEW OF RUSSIA FROM MY HOUSE" GETS ELECTED.

Seriously why even bother with this endorsementnow???it just shows that you and many like you are really petty and "elitist"

And she trusts McCain after his selection of Palin? And she trusts Palin?

She has made a statement. About herself. She needs to get a real job.

She's just really pissed that she can't buy Obama off like she planned to with Billary who love to kowtow to big contributors.

With McCain she will get what she pays for and screw over the rest of U.S. like we have been for the last 8 years.

That's fine, go over to the dark side and further improve the democratic party in the process. Thanks

Another Hilliary Supporter doing the right thing as she believes
obama is not the right person to sit in the oval office.Hilliary was just
supporting obama this days so that her party will not blame in the event of Obamas defeat.

So calling all hilliary supporters,remeber that during the primary
how this obama play sexism and insulted hilliary its now payback
time lets vote Sarah/McCain in NOv 4

Lets Save America from Obama.

Hilliary Democrats now for Sarah/McCain
Lets Drill baby ,baby drill.no more foreign oil.

Is this woman crazy!! And what's to like about MC Cain! Good riddance to this chick!

"de Rothschild"? Calling the only son of a single mother "elitist"? This is rich (too easy...sorry about that). I'm sure McCain is looking forward to her support. They can probably travel together, switching back and forth between their private planes. Of all of the Hillary diehards, this one has been the whiniest, most out of touch. Good riddance and please, please, don't ever call yourself a Democrat again.

Why not do a blog about the conservative republicans like David Brookes who are now abandoning McCain? Hillary and Obama don't represent people like "de Rothschild" who will benefit from McCain.

Now, one of the largest woman's groups in the country, endorsed Obama today I'll take them over this whiney woman who like McCain has no idea what middle America is going through.

If the DNC doesn't kick her out, something is definitely wrong!

You neither like nor trust McCain. Why would you endorse him when you had previously been gung-ho for Clinton.

Placing Palin in the position of being a heartbeat away from the presidency is a direct insult to Clinton....who could still be the first POTUS who is also a woman! Clinton...who actually did the work and paid the dues to get there!

You're focusing on Obama; when you should still be focusing on Clinton! CLINTON IS NOT OUT OF THE GAME UNLESS YOU PUT PALIN BEFORE HER!

Racist, I say, Racist. Feminine racist.

Lives in London and New York? Who is she calling elitist? Sounds like she has been promised something from somebody.

Get lost, you're obviously backing candidates for the WRONG REASONS! Hillary? Now Palin? Hmmmm...

Someone named "Lynn Forester de Rothschild" is using the term "elitist." Irony much?

when some people will realize that if someone does not like Obama it is not necessarily for his color or gender. It is because he is just simply not appealing to that person, and that that person does not like the way he talks, what he says etc. And vice versa. It applies to the others too.
No one in world is entitled to be liked by anyone, or hated by everyone.
There is a freedom of choice here, isn't it? SO why to be outraged if someone dares to not to like the person you like?

who cares who she endorses. she has made her feelings known for a long time now. we can't vote for mccain because we are the little guys and not ceo of a fortune 5 hundred company. so don't let the door hit you on your way out republican under cover.

She's mad cause she's probably in the 2% and sees her Bush tax cuts going out the door when Obama gets elected.

BTW of the 22 delegates representing Democrats abroad only 4 were committed to Clinton the rest of them including all of the eight super delegates are committed to Senator Obama since the beginning.

Being rich doesn't make you automaticially an elitist.
Anyway , why so many comments against rich people , they are usually the ones to create the jobs.
Unbelievable , how stupid some people are.

Obama and Hillary Stances on the issues are nearly identical. This lady is a freakin nut who just one of those people who want things the same way they have been going.

This is not news. Isn't this the same "billionaire" who insisted that Obama should put HRC's debt before his own campaign? She can AFFORD to pick her president based on personality. OR maybe her real issue is that she would get taxed under Obama's new plan and she just doesn't like it!

Lynn Forester de Rothschild donated a LOT of money to DNC, DNCC, DNP candidates and Hillary Clinton. She pushed the unity message to unite as a party and urged Sen.Obama to consider Hillary Clinton for VP.

I am glad to see Ms.Forester de Rothschild uphold DEMOCRACY and endorse John McCain. Thank you Lynn.

ms. rothschild has her own agenda, she was not a true Hillary supporter anyway.

Goes to show ya.
So What!

Why is she wasting everyone's time by holding a press conference?She should just do it.

Who gives a rat... ( you know the rest ) what they think. It just show that's they are not that bright.. Or the McCain Tax breaks for the rich are looking good to them, maybe they are AIG / FREDDIE MAC STOCKHOLDERS Who now want the tax breaks for the rich to keep on going.. that's because they are RICH RIGHT! WINK WINK NOD NOD.

Must have needed to vote for a women for the sake of being a women

She probably thinks "the economy is fundamentally strong" like
McGruff!

Please please tell me that a 'ROTHSCHILD". One of the infamous international Billionaire Baking families did not call Obama an eliteist !
The hipocracy of these ludacris Corporate Billionaire Power Brokers who control America through their puppets the GOP just astounds me.
Please tell me that America finally sees through this very expensive smoke screen. We must re take our Democracy and throw these Republican criminals out !

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LYNN!!!!!!!!!! One of those uptights. Suck it up!!!! Obama is the nominee, get used to it to all those angry people that still remain. She is not in her right mind. The smart Hillary supporters will not fall for McSame and Pali(es)n. I have been an Obama supporter since the start of this election and I know he will win in november even without some of Hillarys supporters.

Obama-Biden 08

Anyone that would go from voting from Hillary to voting for McCain, never understood what Hillary stands for in the first place. Go vote for McCain Lynn, but remember to bend over whan you cast your ballot.

SOUR GRAPES. The best part is when Obama wins, she'll be stuck with the loser republicans. Good choice lady.

How in the world is someone who is the CEO of of a major business and married to an international banker calling someone else an elitist?? This is foolishness! Who cares what she thinks!!

I don't care who she endorses.

As a former Hillary supporter, I held out until the very end. I was mad and angry that Obama did not pick her as his VP, then along came Palin and I knew we had to join together or this country could be in serious trouble. So this woman who claims to not be able to trust Obama is "full of it" if she thinks she can trust McCain and Palin. Good bye and good ridence. I don't think she has any problems filling up her luxury cars or if she's worried about her retirement.

This is where all these comments don't make any sense and are just a lot of drivel.
If it was somebody endorsing Obama , these comments would be full of praises.
Quite frankly , any endorsements , especialy from politicians and celebrities are so irrelevant and don't deserve any mention in the news.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild complains about elitism.

You lost me at "de"

One Democrat that's actually sane.

This very rich woman is not interested in anything Clinton or the party stands for- or she could not turn to McCain?

She is not one of us- McCain can have her...think she suffers from a dose of racism!

Of course she doesn't like him! He won't be indebted to any of the lobbyist for EL Rothschild when he gets elected. Barack Obama is backed by the people NOT special interest groups,therefore he won't need to pay back any favors to EL Rothschild's when he is deciding on policy. Shame on her for personalizing this election. Let us not forget that there are over 200 million people here and for a long, long time about 98% of them have been struggling with the decisions made by the top 2%. It truly is TIME FOR CHANGE.

why is this newsworthy? Are you Americans voting on where the candidates stand on the issues? Or are you voting based on race? Sex? Age? Not voting Obama because he beat Hillary? Whatever the case is, you are scaring the rest of the world.....please....no more Republican policies.....

Traitor.

Go have Kosher tea with Lieberman.

Go ahead, Lynn, and support McCain–the coward who surrendered to the Viet Cong in defiance of the military code of conduct which specifically states that "I shall never surrender to the enemy." And when you come calling for us Democrats to support Clinton when she runs again, we will support her opposition, just like you're now doing to Obama. You're not a true Democrat. What you're probably telling us is that you can not support an African American for the presidency. You should have the guts to say exactly what you mean. I sure hope that the democrats revoke the position that you're now holding in the party and send you packing to the republicans. Goodbye!!!!!

i'm sorry-–what does "elitist" mean again? hillary attended wellesley and then yale law school. barack grew up w/o a father, and a mother who worked 2 jobs while she went to college. and yes, he went to harvard. i think in this case, this woman was a republican in spirit to begin with-and therefore "elitist" is code for racist.
therefore, i say, good riddance, and don't the door hit your "CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild" rich arse on the way out.

"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."

And he's the elitist? Good God do these nutcases hear themselves? Obama was raised in poverty by a single mother on food stamps. He went to school on scholarships. He CAN and DOES relate to the common guy. This fool as well as McCain have never had to live like that. That they both have called Obama an elitist only shows they really believe Americans are stupid..

People wake up and smell the coffee. Obama wants a socialist government. He wants the people to pay more taxes so the 10% can continue to sit on there butts and contribute nothing to this country. I do believe the the government should help the elderly, children and people who are having a tought time. I DO NOT agree with MY taxes being spent on Medicaid for people lay around and pop out babies left and right. WE PAY FOR THIS. Obama loves this it is guaranteed votes!!!

THIS TURN OF EVENT IS REMARKABLE AND VERY SIGNIFICANT
BECAUSE THE WOMAN IS A VERY PROMINENT DEMOCRAT WHO
WIELDS GREAT INFLUENCE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
HER LOYALTY TO HILLARY CLINTON SHOWS STRENGTH OF CHARACTER . THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAVE SWITCHED TO MCCAIN ND THE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO SWELL IN THE COMING WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION.

Vote with your head, not with your heart! Logic tends to outlast feelings

Oh my God! I think they should change medication for her because the first one is nolonger effective. How can she cast her vote based on person and not on policies? Anyway, she has just one vote and, it doesnt matter if she votes for MaCain.I think she is an Elitist too.

Or maybe just another person blinded by a female as a VP.

How could you ever endorse Hillary then change to McCain Palin?
McCain is old, out of touch, ELITIST himself. He doesn't even know how many houses he owns. Maybe he is just old, or maybe it is because his "mistress", ooooopppsss I mean wife is the one who owns them all.

Must be she and/or her company were given a deal she couldn't resist.....

Obviously she could care less about Hillary's platform. Pathetic.

I would love to know what companies this elite person is involved in so that I can choose to not support the phoniness she portrays.

Welcome to the winning team, Lynn! I don't trust that Socialist elitist either!

Did you hear the one about the multinational CEO who calls the community organizer "elitist"?

Don't worry. I will return the vote to Obama. Along with many, many others like me. Don't underestimate the amount of support that will go to Obama from the republican party.

No Way, No How, No McSame/Palin '08

I don't like him because he is arrogant and disrespectful of experienced people, to the extent that he is willing to mock them publicly. The only person who matches him is Sarah!

Voting from the pocket I see

When I read this headline, I was like, "What??!!" But then as I read that the vote-flipper is none other than a Rothschild for goodness' sake, I am now back to a relaxed state of Zen.

If we can get every single multi-billionaire who "splits her time between New York and London," or is married to someone with the title "Sir", to get off of our bandwagon, then maybe once we take power we can institute the real reforms our economy and our political system need.

And, as you other guys have written, how incredibly RICH is it that a Rothschild (who I know nothing about but wouldn't be surprised if she was "schooled in Switzerland" or breeds horses or dabbles in art or some such thing) would call ANYONE else an "elitist". I love it.

Oh, and I hope she didn't "just love" that position on the DNC's Platform Committee.....wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Dean et al weren't too pleased with the madam.

I certainly hope she is now a former member of the DNC!

That is just wrong. When did this election become about personality? Obama and Hillary have very similar political agenda's, and to endorse a candidate on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum is absolutely idiotic.

I guess it's true that this election, like the last many elections, are never about the issues.

Best news I heard today. This is a call to the other Hillary supporters.
It's a reminder of how Obama demeaned and debased Hillary in the most sexist of manners. Let's get behind Sarah Palin and show them that we will not put up with sexism and we won't let Obama and the media continue to lie about her.

McCain/Palin 08'

I guess Hillary will not trust you anymore...trader...Judus.
I guess as a person in BIG BUSINESS, you are voting for the repugs to keep you AS AN ELITIST that YOU ARE!!!!!

And how that going to change?

This woman who claimed she supported Hillary does not really value what Hillary stood for. It is obvious that ms. rothschild only wanted a woman in power, any woman, even a woefully unqualified woman. People like this have their own agendas, they don't truly care about the economy or anything else.

The door has already been closed for trouble -makers who try to make more troubles.

“I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Yea ok. Keep acting like race has nothing to do with it. Either that, or actually take the time to become educated and pay attention to policies. I'm sick and tired of so-called "Hillary supporters" who think that their next best bet is to back McCain/Palin when it's obvious policy has nothing to do with their decision.

So it was all about the Lipstick.

Sounds like a Democrat who loves America more than she loves being a Democrat!

Props and kudos, to you, Lynn!

What, no real issues to discuss? So another rich person, afraid of losing her power and status with the true elite, makes a lame attempt to influence the less informed of us. Sorry Lynn but we've been paying attention this time. Thank you for your tax dollars. Great to see you're chipping in.

too bad for her that hillary will NEVER be president, as many of her supporters hope obama will lose so hillary can run again.

nevermind what hillary achieved–she still pissed off alot of people with her evil campaign tactics. I for one would never vote for her.

Hillary and her supporters are evil at the core.

GOBAMA.

Another candidate who couldnt understand what hillary stood for.Its a shame that just because the other ticket has a women VP (used as a scapegoat for political mileage) you go againt the ideas you supported for such a long time.

Hillary Suporter for unity and Obama.

Her name and her background is Elitist! As a Female I have to say FU for not supporting my right to my body!!!!!

Let me get this straight... "Lynn Forester de Rothschild," CEO of EL Rothschild, who is married to international banker "Sir Evelyn de Rothschild"...

...is calling Obama elitist?

That's rich.

Sounds like she's voting John "Country Club First" McCain for a reason — they're the elitists!

You go Lynn!!

Hiding behind the Democratic party to hide her racism, she was never behind Hillary, a true Democrat will follow the parties nominee no mater who they are.

You gotta be kidding me!!!She says he's an Elitist???...She is worth Millions and didn't pull herself up by her bootstraps like Obama did..talk about Hypacritical!!!!!!!!

Good Ridance..It's obvious you do not care about Hillary's policies, but only that she was a woman.

Yeah the poster above mentioning the person over policy hit the nail on the head.
I keep hearing the Clinton's will be out for Obama, and I keep waiting for it.

Good for you! we don't need your vote anyway. Go stand next to John, Cindy and Palin...the biggest "elitest" group of them all.

Why don't you just admit that you can't vote for a black man. Well I have another word for you and "no" it isn't elitist...it's BIGGOT!!!!

“I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Yea ok. Keep acting like race has nothing to do with it. Either that, or actually take the time to become educated and pay attention to policies. I'm sick and tired of so-called "Hillary supporters" who think that their next best bet is to back McCain/Palin when it's obvious policy has nothing to do with their decision.

I don't see how she can call Obama an elistist .

Sometimes things just do not make sense and this is one of them.
She dislikes him ...fine but there is more here than she is saying...
Hillary and OBama are on the same page politically , so it is either she is racist or sexist or just concerned her millions will be taxed more under Obama and she will pay less with MCcain ...my bet is follow the money!

Hillary is doing a greeaaat job supporting Obama huh?

Obama-Biden never!

Hillary...never ever!!

How can you trust McCain the liar and Palin who won't come clean on troopergate? Its getting more and more mind boggling every day.

Ah, the first little crack in the armor. This is so exciting and she's such an important person in the DNC and a major fund raiser. This tells you that other Hillary supporters are coming right behind and O-blah-blah-blah cannot win without them.

My heart is singing.

McCain/Palin 08'

Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

who?

Just keep spouting your vile venom Obamatrons.

Keep saying "who needs her!"

Keep it up.

You just keep pushing more and more of us towards:

McCain Palin 08

I'm so sick and tired of the whole 'elitist' tag placed upon the Democrats. Who else thinks an extraordinary person should handle an extraordinary job? I sure as heck think so.

These are extraordinary times and we need extraordinary people to curb them.

These jibes are foolish and the people who are spewing them deserve to be treated foolishly.

welcome aboard ,there are huge numbers of clinton supporters still in tact.

I don't like him and I don't trust him either. When Obama goes to the Hollywood rich people, you know the $28,000 a plate dinner tonight. I guess you Obamabots didn't give him enough money. I wonder if he will tell them all about the bitter people clinging to their guns and Bibles he has met on the campaign trail, and laugh at all the little people.

We Independents know that McCain/Palin are the future winners. This whole financial "crisis" was caused by people buying houses they could not afford and run-away credit card debt. The American people will not be fooled into bailing out these losers AND expanding the government to boot!!! Many Hillary Independents are now ready to swing this election to McCain/Palin!!!

This isn't a surprise. She also got mad that the Obama campaign didn't pay for her room at the convention and she and other big Clinton donors left in a huff before Obama's acceptance speech. It was just a matter of time. She obviously isn't an advocate for women or any of the issues Hillary was fighting for because she wouldn't be doing this if she was.

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” Wow..then how is it hard for her to declare this in the public?? The heck? The woman voted for Hillary the person and not her policies. What a horrible reason to vote for 4 more years of American downfalls. It bothers me that people vote based on emotions. Stop thinking about yourself and think about our country as a whole. Republicans MESSED IT UP BIG TIME!!!!!! Ain't no way in H E double hockey sticks will I vote for MCSAME. Freakin' biter. Trying to run his campaign like Obama now. Dude please.

Obama/Biden '08 and '12 Period!!!!

I am also a democrat supporting McCain. Obama has done nothing to prove to me he can be president. McCain has worked with all sides and just makes more sence. I don't want a socialist america. We need to work for what we want. I know to many on well-– that don't need to be. I don't think more of that is going to help. Just my oppinion.

A bllionaire dilletante...who's married to a guy named Evelyn...calls Barack Obama elitist? Where do I start??!!

Did I just read that Lynn Forester de Rothschild thinks Obama is an elitist?

That's good stuff.

Let me translate that: "I can't control him with my money and friends – I think I've got a better chance to get what I want out of the repubs – the only law-breaking, power-abusing, subpoena-ignoring game left in town.

I'm sure she'll help him explain his empathy for those blue collar workers. Funny, funny stuff.

Please be nasty in your proclamation so about 500,000 of us regular folk can get ticked off enough to send Obama more money just to get rid of the influence of people like you.

Oh I love to read comments like these. You guys are in meltdown mode because your savior is losing support everywhere.

Perhaps Lynn doesn't want to be part of the Obama campaign when it hits the fan that he took the second most money from Fannie Mae.

well la ti da...another phony ...Hillary Clinton is sure finding out about some of her "friends"

.....pathetic...

Interesting, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a titled Lady and someone who was introduced to her second husband by Henry Kissinger at the Blinderberg conference, calling Barack Obama "elite"? That's kind of funny-this is the kind of stuff you just can't make up

Good for you Lynn.

A former Democrat with some actual integrity. She does not put up with the Democrat's fear cards to keep woman in line, like Roe v. Wade (a decision that has not even been threatened to be overturned). She may vote for whom she wants, no reason to support someone you think is unqualified for President.

Hillary 2012

Clearly this woman is not a democrat. If she were she would vote on the issues, and support the issues that Hillary ran on which is nearly identacle to Barack Obama's policies. This leaves just one reason she supported Hillary – she was a woman. I've heard far too many people say "I really liked Hillary, now that she's out I'm voting for McCain because I want to see a woman in the whitehouse before I die." Really? You'd rather see a woman to fulfil your own selfish goals instead of making our country better and not leading it further into debt and potentially into more wars? What could be more selfish than to compromise your views and principles based soley on sex. I would say that is reverse sexism. I'm losing the tremendous respect I had for the feminest movement when I hear things like this.

Come on over to the right side, Ms. Rothschild. They don't want you. You spoke your mind and now the Democrat/liberals went after you. They don't respect anyone who's views are not like their own. Typical. Jobama is elitist, pure and simple and most of the average voters in the US, especially those between the coasts really know this.

McCain-Palin 08 & 12

Palin-Huckabee 12 & 16

Her dislike for Obama says a lot more about her than it does about Obama. And, I would wager a bet that she’s got enough enemies to fill a bank vault.

She's married to an international banker, named SIR Rothschild...."splits her time between London and New York" ....and she thinks Barack Obama is an elitist??????? What a load of you-know-what.

Old Money goes with old white men. Just can,t understand
why she would endorse McPalin. She would be considered
white trash. Unmarried daughter pregnant, talks in tongues,
is under investigation by her own state and had to attend
5 to 6 schools to graduate. Maybe she lowered her bar!

Good riddance - let's flush out the trash from the DNC once and for all. What will she do after McPalin loses the election? Let's hope she'll spend more time in London with Evelyn and stay out of the US.

can you say SHALLOW? I pick my candidates based on POLICY not personalities.

HAHA! A Rothschild calling someone an elitist! LOL

I dont blame her,though, she's going to be paying more under his administration.

Justwait till Palin and McCan't lose the election & are finally shown to be the frauds they are! What will your "Anti Elitist" snobbery get you then? I hope Obama raises your taxes & puts you in the same position as Leiman Bros.

Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel sorry for people like this-they claim to be a supporter of a party, but they really support the bull and greed this country was "founded on'". She's just old, rich, and a racist-a good ole republican. I really want to see how Hillary react to this!!

GO Barack

We can call it like it is. Obama is too "minority" for her tastes, and she can't trust 'em.

Here go the Democrats crying once again when one of their own dares to tell the truth about Obama. Get used to it Democrats you can't force Obama down everyone's throat and expect to get away with it. Finally the Clinton voters are seeing the light. I expect more to get off the Obama train very soon. That's what you get Democrats when you PUSH someone in a position that NOBODY wanted. I am loving this as a Republican, I'm just sitting back and watching all you democrats ruin your party and I'm loving it!!! I couldn't have asked for anything better this year...
VOTE MCCAIN/PALIN!!!

Can Ms Rothschild or for that matter any of the former Clinton supporters who said that they want to vote for McCain tell me a single policy proposal that McCain has that will solve the problem that our country faces better than that of Obamas.

The United States as we know it is being threatened. Our way of life is based on Democracy and Capitalism and Free Market and these are based on trust and confidence. There is no single physical commodity on any shelf for sell in Wall Street except a bunch of papers that carry all the weight in the world because they are backed by Trust and Confidence.

This Trust is evaporating and this Confidence is fading and going with them will be social security, employment, strong government, strong military, choices and the American way of life. Any person who loves this country would be concerned about this issue when they vote on November unless you are Ms Rothschild who votes because she "don't like him"

Barack Obama does not have all the answers and he will not fix all the problem in four years, but at least he has put forward a well thought out alternative plan than what we have heard in the last eight years. If Ms Rothschild will discuss the superiority of McCains proposals over that of Obama that would have been worthy of a true American. But she is blinded by the fact that she "don't like him".

This election will not be decided by the likes of Ms Rothschild but by the millions of Americans who will look at the issues and look at the solutions proposed by each candidate and vote for the proposals that have the best chance of addressing Americans problems and not vote because "I don't like him".

Hillary would be very disappointed in her. I think this only begins to prove the "Elephant in the Closet" theory for Obama that was on CNN earlier today. It is sad to see that someone will put aside their beliefs to vote for because they don't trust them (Does the other side embody what you believe in?). At this point I don't see how you could trust John McCain either. Voting for McCain is not going to solve any of the issues that disgruntled voters are having personally with Obama.

I look forward to the upcoming debates because I think then the campaigns will get back to the issues and hopefully concerns of elitism and mistrust will be resolved. Regardless of who you vote for -you need to be ready to follow ALL of their policies for the next four years and possibly beyond with the upcoming change in the Supreme Court

WOW, That person voting for McCain. Oh my how can I sleep tonite?

Good riddance, Lynn. The house sweeping has begun. It's like having your termites pack up and leave before you have to call the exterminator.

This is only the beginning. It starts with a trickle and ends with the deluge as women and blue collar men flock to Governor Palin and Senator McCain.

Sarah Palin is on her way to the Presidency after a stint as VP. She's only 44 and will be around long after Joe Biden is in a nursing home.

Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

Who cares.

Don't let the doorknob hit you...............

this woman, and the rest of the elistist who CANT stand a simple man calling them for who they are, is furious,
she did not get what she wanted, clinton who would have done favors for her as in the past,
so she is mad.. as hell..

hey a republican and a rich republican always a republican

that is why hillary and bill hav enot done a thing for Obama
they want him to loose so they can return to power..

it is all a game, for the rich elite 1% in this country MCBUSH, MCCAIN and MCCLINTON , MCCNNN Inclulded..

the rich always stick with the rich, NO matter who CNN wants to spin it..

Am I dreaming, or did someone with the last name "de Rothschild" who is married to someone with the title "Sir" just call a man who was raised by a single mother an "elitist"?

Is it just me or does it sound as if someone has fed her those lines?

I think a little digging should be done to see if Mrs de Rothschild has a job waiting for her in a McCain White House.

Obama, an elitist????? This woman is using her emotions and her reasoning is helter-skelter. Hope is the substance of this campaign and with fickleness of people like Lynn Forester de Rothschild, I could never vote for a ticket that is so "white" and so driven to destroy as the McCain/Palin ticket. By the way, I'm a registered Republican so my vote will definitely counter De Rothchild.! Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!

Obviously she is an angry woman....how does someone who is a true Democrat and true supporter of what Hillary Clinton stands for and believes in suddenly become a McCain/Palin supporter? This defies logic. And the fact that she has to be "in your face" about it is unnecessary. Like I said she's an angry woman and now she can go be an angry Republican.

Hey, what do you know, another rich person endorsing McCain. I wonder who has more houses?

McCain needs all the help he can get...she worked for Clinton, she isn't a Campaign Manager that quit like McCains did because he didn't want to run against Obama any longer...

Hillary must have promised her a job in her administration if she became President...oh well..good riddance!!!

AWESOME!!

John McCain owns 8 houses (or more by now) and she's calling Obama the elitist? How is a man who helped out the poor his entire life an elitist compared to a man who married an heiress and whose only economic plan is to keep giving the rich tax cuts?

I think this lady was a Republican to begin with and I'm surprised the Democrats didn't see through her tactics (although she may have blended in fine with Hillary's conservative staff that she had).

The Democrats definitely don't need someone that moronic and misguided. Good riddens to bad rubbish.

Poor Obama, he got the nod from the Dem's big wigs in exchange for taking stalwart Biden along for the ride. The old guard thought Obama needed a baby sitter and now it has sunk Obama. I guess Dean got what he wanted (to unseat the Clintons as the Dem's power broker) at the expense of the party. That probably warrants another wicked howl from Dean.

How much did they pay her for the endorsement?

I find it really amazing that some, who are the wealthiest; whether born into it, married it or got it by questionable means, dare to call Obama an elitist. Maybe this lady just hung on to Hillary Clinton's coattails because she was a woman running for president. If she truly believed in Clinton's message and what she stands for, she wouldn't be backing McCain.

She splits her time in London and New York, and Obama's the elitist? Whatever...

One thing is for sure, we will have a visible vice-president. The two candidates have spoken out more in their election campaigns than we've heard Cheney speak in 8 years. We will have a VP!

What a shallow person! How any Hillary supporter could vote mCCain-Palin is beyond reason. McCain=Palin have shown their trust? How exactly have they done that? Palin represents women's interests? Give me a break. This hypocrite and closet racist is exactly whats wrong with this country. Shameful.

who cares?

She was a member of the DNC's platform committee? What kind of a sell out is she? Another flip flop? I am sure that Barack Obama was not ready to genuflect at the altar of Lady de Rothschild! She's more than likely a closet racist to say that she simply doesn't like him and that he's done nothing to gain her trust. I guess she trusts Bill and Hillary cause she spent the night in the White House! Give me a break...she sounds like the elitist of the highest magnitude. Hey Barack, you can't win them all, cross her off and move on. For every one you lose you gain three!

I guess if Obama was white it would be a different story.

Let's face it, people in power still don't like the black folk.

She's calling him an elitist??? Was this interview on the tarmac before she jetted off to London for some shopping?

The racist should have just called him "uppity" and left it that.

Interesting. The story is about a Democrat, a party leader who refuses to support Obama, and the first response here is something having to do with Palin. Awhile later another poster seems to imply the refusal to support Obama may result from racism. All of the rest of the responses reflect a bitterness at this woman's lifestyle that would never have been considered had she remained a loyal Democrat. You Obamaniacs are somewhat of a sorry group, you know that.

The very name Rothschild is a synonym for pampered, born with a silver spoon in your mouth, snobbish elitism and this woman lives up to her name. What this grand dame of the bitter losers brigade means when she says she doesn't like Obama is that "he's not one of us".

The elitists like Rothschild aren't used to not getting their own way, so when they don't, they make sure someone pays even if it means throwing all the values and political beliefs they claimed to hold out the window.

We Independents know that McCain is not the liar. Obama is the LIAR, LIAR, pants on fire. Run, run back to Illinois and the Chicago Machine. It's so funny to see the liberals on T.V. going crazy. They know Obama is DONE!!!

Hey Irony did you happen to read what was posted on website or are you pretending to be intelligent.?

What is wrong with you people? Everyone owns their own vote. People are still allowed to choose any candidate they wish to in this great republic. How undemocratic attacking a person for choosing differently than you! That's not very progressive. That's not even American!

Citizens of the United States are allowed to cast their vote for anyone, for any reason. You attack and demean someone for picking a different candidate?! Call them names and hurl false accusations? No wonder so many are fleeing the democratic party!

And what's with the Palin remarks? Haven't you heard? McCain is running for POTUS. Palin is only the number 2. How odd. Can't remember the last time the top ticket opposition went after the bottom ticket. Only one explanation...that is what BO and his bots truly identify with.

Wow—who's elitist? Splits her time between London and New York. Hmmm...

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, BFD!

Nasty people like nasty people.

See you around like a Doughnut.

Obama & Biden ‘08
Hillary & Warner '16
Lynn Forester de Rothschild & Self 3001

mmm... Bitter Much? ...

Pathetic elitist woman calling Obama elitist ... LOL .....

Many Hillary supporters were angered when Hillary was ignored in the VP selection, which also showed Obama's arrogance. Lynn Forester is just an example showing that the McCain-Palin ticket can attract Hillary supporters.

This the beginning of the end for Obama. Once the big money people don't think you have a shot you're toast.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild,

Did you really call Barack Obama an elitist?? Ms Rothschild we know your families background. Smoke and mirrors baby smoke and mirrors. And if people weren't stuck in surviving through the day to day struggle, they could have time to take a trip down memory lane and see the patterns. And Ms. Rothschild that was a very generous thing you guys did for AIG today. Just so you know your cloaking device is malfuctioning we see you!

We all know why you do not like him, shame on you. I feel sorry for you.
say it out, dont beat about the bush. Pityful

so she is a CEO of a prominent company and marrued to an international Bank and lives in two countries... and she calls OBAMA elitist???? You got to be kidding me. What is wrong with all these Racist White rich folks??? They make me sick.

UH OH..... She must not have gotten her way at the Hillary meltdown meeting.... OH well, she was probably a closet repugnican anyway.

Sometimes cnn tries to be so unbias that it makes them look ridiculous. This story is a joke. Obama will bring us change while McCain just needs to be changed.

Surprise, surprise! None of you really thought Clinton was a democrat, did you?

No why don't she state the real reason. Let America know how she really feels.

She's definitely a racist. Racists do not like to see successful African-Americans and they call them elitist or uppity. How can she call Obama an elitist when she is the embodiment of one herself?

This makes my day.

McCain-Palin 2008!!!!!!!

OBAMA IS DEFINELY NOT A MAN OF HIS WORD. HE WAS THE FIRST LIAR IN THIS CAMPAIGN BY SAY HE WOULD TAKE PUBLIC FINANCING BUT WHY WOULD ANYBODY BE DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE OBAMA. WITH FREINDS LIKE REZKO, WRIGHT, FARRAKHAN, PFLUGGER, AYERS, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A DEMOCRAT TO BELIEVE A WORD HE SAYS.

This is what is amazing about this individual. She is a former Clinton backer but because she doesn't like Obama she is voting for McCain. This makes absolutely no sense. I think this person is either racist or hoping McCain wins so Clinton can run again in 2012, either way it's pathetic and sad.

What is so elitist about Obama? I guess a Black man should not be well educated an speak well ,correct? Maybe she would like him better if he wore his bagfgy pants down below his waist.

No way! Everyone agrees!

Not everyone falls in line for Messiah.

Who cares she can't be a true democrat anyway she has money she'll fit right in with insane mcpalin

SO WHAT?????

A de Rothchild is calling someone who grew up in a poor single parent family, who scratched and clawed his way into and through Harvard, then worked as a teacher and public servant an elitist?

You sure that it is not because he wants to increase YOUR (that's right the over 250k a year) taxes?

Am I the only one who thinks that this person should cut down on the martoonies at lunch, or has 45% of the entire country gone mad?

Peace

Who cares?....and she don't like him and can't trust him?...that's just a cover for "i don't like him cause he's black"....if these people are big enough to say such things they should just state what they really feel. Hillary & Obama policies are virtually the same, anybody who was for hillary should automatically vote for obama.....any other reason for not voting for obama is because he's black...

McCain and hillarys policies are completely different, so for a hillary supporter to vote for McCain, this person clearly has racial issues to deal with...oh well he doesn't need her anyway...

I think all democrats who supported Hillary should come openly to support McCain becuase the true candidacy was stolen from Hillary.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Worst day for mccain but with cnn you can never tell alway positive mccain, negative obama

Who is this woman and why do we care who she supports? She's a CEO, married to an international banker and lives in London and New York, and she calls Obama an elitist? Sounds like she and McCain have more in common, that's for sure!

Now that I think of it, I can probably answer my own question. Lynn Forester de Rothschild is probably in the 'over the $250,000 bracket'....Obama wants to raise her taxes.....so she is not in this for "Country First" ....she is in it for 'self' and obviously doesn't care about the average, middle-income majority of hard working American people who carry the country and are always hit the hardest. I doubt CNN will post my 2 comments, they don't usually.

People who think and have IQs over 100 vote policies and issues. Others vote for the candidate they would "like to have a beer with."

And then we wonder why our economy, health insurance, etc...are a disaster. I'm very disappointed.

And shame on me because I immediately think "what did the McCain camp promise her?" because I can't believe that anyone who supported Hilary would actually support McCain.

GOOD DEAL

Boot her elitist tush out of the DNC, let her go raise funds for the other turncoat, Lieberman.

With friends like these...

It's so over for the Democrat party. Looking forward to the McCain win as the Democrats overreached and nominated a weak novice who never stood up to his party or any special interest. Perhaps the media will now mention Obama was took the most Fannia and Freddie money of any in the Senate except Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. Hillary wins this election, obviously.

Obama himself is a walking hypocracy? He is a perfect example of the fact that this country has opportunities abound. an example of the fact that anyone from any family upbringing with very little can accomplish geat things. He often makes the case that only in America is his story possible. The fact that he attempts to convince us all that this country is on the wrong path and needs to change is the hypocracy. He is basically saying that without his socialist policies this country will not have the opportunities that he himself is proof that already exist.

Shes a jew like lieberman, only supports Israel to drag us into a war

There is a name appropriate for the likes of Lynn Forester de Rothschild – it's Quisling. For her to endorse Senator McCain, particularly after he picked a singularly unqualified running mate in Sarah Palin, is difficult to understand. The women and men who protested in Anchorage last week understand what's at stake in this election – we cannot afford four more years of the Original Amateur Hour. We need some inspired leadership that can harness the hopes of the American people, not scare them into foolish endeavors overseas and illegal and unconstitutional measures at home. We need to elect Senator Obama on November 4th.

Why would a BANKER want to join McCain? That's a tough one...

The is what I am waiting for from these so call Hillary supporters, It's obvious that she could not support a black man and is a bigot, yes the Dems have them to. There is no reason to support McSame for any other reason. They share nothing in common policy wise and have very different issues. Good riddance Lynn. I wish people would stop tip toeing around the issue of race in this campaign.

NO WONDER HILLARY LOST TO OBAMA ! For those that know the History of Rothchild family will judge for themselves. How can she claim Obama to be elitist? GOD PROTECT OBAMA/BIDEN.

The biggest democratic mistake ??

Obama winning.

The second?

Not picking Hillary..

And the third?

Picking STAND UP BILL – BIDDEN

CYA
Nobama 08

She's married to "Sir Evelyn de Rothschild" and she thinks OBAMA's an elitist? Who is this person–what a moron.

All of these unfoound reasons add up to this one word: prejudice.

I think the word here is not "like". I think she "HATES" Obama.
If this is a choice for her to defect to the other party so be it.
But I think it is very disgraceful to see such a prominent figure to go down this low as to harbor grude and resentment just because her candidate of choice was not choosen as the democratic nominee.
I would have thought with such an interlectual background, married to a prominent banker, that her mental capacity thought process should have been more positive than outflat negative.

I think, in my own opinion, that she is a disgrace to her own concience and further more I think she is the biggest english snob in modern day history.

To my own opinion I question, her intergrity and respect for the democratic party.
WOLFS IN SHEEPS CLOTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny that Lynn Forester de Rothschild – of the infamous banking and finance Rothschild's worth hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars – is calling someone else an elitist.

I understand this Hillary supporter. My issue with Senator Obama is multi-fold.

Obama does not appear to have the RECORD of fighting for anything major in his life. Has he ever followed-through with anything that really represents CHANGE? Or anything that could EFFECT change? He has co-sponsored many legislations in the Senate, but no major challenges where he has stood against his party, or stood by his belief where something was clearly at stake. Has he lost on any specific issue (ex. Hillary with healthcare, McCain on immigration) and still followed-through?

He didn't even stand up to Rev. Wright, Pfleger and Ayers. How difficult is it to just politely come up to these people and say, that for the record, he disagrees with them? At a time when it really mattered?

CNN, I can tell by your tone tonight that your leaning McCain now. McCain making the comment "that the economy is fundamentally sound" was a tried and true comment; I find it very ironic that you would make it out like Obama misrepresented that statement, Your horns are starting to show.

By the way, I'm not one of those dumb down Americans, I recongnize games when I see it.

Yes, the elitist who worked on the south side of Chicago for 12 grand a year. You make millions and he's just started to

Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, meet pot.

This elitist bull is just her way to justify in her mind why she doesn't want to vote for him. They are all elitists including her. She is not the average American and doesn't have the average American issues. She sounds like someone in high school, saying, "I don't like him". She is a bitter Hillary supporter, who thinks if McCain wins this year, she can put Hillary in 2012, but if this happens, don't you think the Obama supporters will do the same thing to Hillary in 2012. You can't tell me that McCain policies are more in line w/ Hillary policies than Obama's.

Grow Up!

Why is it the biggest nutcases have all the money? I guess an immense amount of green stuff affects the grey matter.

And since when does the media give these nuts air time? Oh, never mind. What was I thinking?!

so what?? This doesn't exactly make her look good. Does Benedict Arnold look good to anyone?? NO!

How many left McCain's camp because they didn't want use nasty tactics against Obama while McCain/Rove did?? Come CNN you are too GOP driven.

You are not a true Democrat if you make a decision based on "not liking him"......many Democrats disliked HRC, but had she won we would have voted Democrat, because any other choice is detremental to this country and our world relations!

Not a loss at all.....the Democrats are bringing in new voters, Independent's and republicans every day!

Obama/Biden 2008

If you respected Hilary you would keep your mouth closed. Besides you only raise 1000,000 Mcain don't need you for that. No pride in America it is all about what can you do for me. I just took my flag pin off!!!!!! What a McShame.

It's hypocrisy, not hypocrasy. Second, to the race baiter "John McPain", believe it or not, there are actually people who dislike Obama's policies and his personality with absolutely no regard to race. Shocking, isn't it? Almost as shocking as you voting for Obama because someone tells you to, or because you take everything the media reports at face value. Try thinking.

I don't know why this person is getting press, NO ONE KNOWS WHO SHE IS! She has the right to choose who she wants to vote for. This shows she was never a true Democrat or a true Hillary supporter. Obama will win this election on his vision for the country and DETAILED SPECIFICS of where the country should go on the economy, health care, foreign policy and many others. This is a true and honorable man with great values and character. God, family and country all three things he loves dearly and which shows why he is the true Patriot of this Presidential race. GO OBAMA 2008/2012 GO HILLARY (WITHOUTH ROTHCHILD HELP) 2016/2020

I'm an Alaskan Republican and I'm VOTING FOR OBAMA/BIDEN!

This country is melting down do to 30 years of Free Range Pro- Corporation CEO policies that MOST of the Republican Party edorses. It sickens me what's happened to the GOP. Look, here in Alaska the GOP is in such a mess with longtime men like Young and Stevens who did good things for the State started doing more things just for themselves. Same thing with McCain. He worked side by side with Stevens for 26 years. He was involved in the Keating Five banking scandal and was joined at the hip with Bush the last 8 years on everything. And to make it worse McCain has voted AGAINST our soldiers everytime Veterans medical benefits came up. Alaskans were so disgusted with this we voted in Palin who ran as a reformer but instead is proving herself to be sweet talking power crazed harpy. She's turning out to me more of the same. A corrupted politico bent on enriching herself.

So, I'm voting OBAMA. I've read the his record and he's been RIGHT about everything so far. We need fresh blood and a Constitional scholar who is a self made man. He put himself through school and has dedicated himself to helping folks. That's the kind of self made man with the Pioneering Alaskan spirit Alaskans like.

being elitist [definition: Someone who believes in rule by an elite group.] isn't measured by how much money you have

the coment about the bitter little people who cling to their guns and religion was an elitist comment (among other things) as at that moment he was talking to some of his elite group

racism or richism. or maybe both. its quite interesting this couple would back mccain/palin policies, who else is gonna let them keep all there riches.

why is she still a dnc member??

Wow. Maybe she missed all Palin's lies, like the thing about her managing 20% of our domestic ebnergy supply and the thing about Obama raising taxes.

Yuck.

How and whose gonna pay for this war in Iraq? 10,000,000,000.00 a month that McCain fully supported. The republicans have spent spent spent. Wallstreet is being bailed out in the tune of billions. Everyone is worse off now than 8 years ago. McCain wants to privatize social security despite this mess with the market.

McCain says that "greed" lead to the wallstreet crisis, coming from a man who doesn't know how many homes he has, greed indeed.

Obama/Biden 08

Like Bush, he followed his gut, ignored advice from experts and acted on impulse. In fact, McCain’s rash and reckless choice of Palin makes Bush look downright careful by comparison . If you liked eight years of a president who went with his gut, acted on impulse and gambled our nation’s future on a hunch, you’ll love John McCain.

Scorned lady

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Obviously, she really doesn't hold any value to the policies for which Hillary stands. This sounds more like a spoiled little rich girl who doesn't like her candy being taken away. Someone who was planning to have a big role in Hillary's party.

Perhaps she can join yet another self-absorbed opportunist Joe Lieberman and do a tour together.

The Republicans can have her! She will be a total loser when McBush loses! After the election, the Republicans will dump her because she doesn't support any of their platform and the Democrats will never take her back. What a sore loser!

I heard the Queen of England is supporting McCain. Apparently Obama is too much of an elitist and his skin is a little too dark. She would definitely not feel comfortable if he were walking behind her on the street at night. It is a trust thing.

Who is this pasty white de Rothschild!? and why do I care? I wonder if her mortgage is in foreclosure, the one in America that is, not the one in London.
And here I thought CNN's coverage could not get any worse.
Puhhlease.

To say Obama is an elitist is just plain stupid. I'd have more respect for her if she just said that she wasn't going to vote for him because he's black.

Some CEO calls Obama an elitist? What a joke. Be honest and tell the truth, Ms. You don't like him because he's black. Another hypocrite.

Simply wants a woman in the White House.

A TRUE supporter of Clinton would never support McCain and Pailin. They are pretty much the exact opposite of Hillary.

Pathetic.
