Coming on the heels of news that the extremely prominent “Hillraiser” John Coale is endorsing McCain and abandoning the Democratic Party (here) is the news that ANOTHER one is following in his footsteps.
From CNN
Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.
The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee.
Forester was a major donor for Clinton earning her the title as a Hillraiser for helping to raise at least $100,000 for the New York Democratic senator’s failed presidential bid.
In an interview with CNN this summer, Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don’t like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”
Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.

Wow… that is going to definitely sting the Obama smear machine. If more follow in that trend, it is going to permenantly damage his chances to catch up to McCain.
Flip Baby Flip!
I guess Obama is not really “arrogant” but actually a bit to “uppity” for her.
Slip slidin’ away, Barky?

there goes another one
I was so impressed with this lady. Far from being arrogant and elitist, she was as down to earth as you can get. For someone as wealthy as she is, that’s saying something. But the media is presenting her as one of those “rich” people who want to protect their assets. I don’t buy it. I think she rocks!
I think lady de Rothchild is a very brave woman and she speaks for me. Hillary disappointed me and became a slave to the Obamanauts.
I would like to know why no one is calling attention to the Obama campaign using Sol Alinsky’s anarchist tactics to get rid of its opposition. Obama attacks and then makes himself to be the victim. That is exactly how he worked as a community organizer. I am disappointed in all the democrats who once supported Hillary and now are supporting Obama. Were they lying then or are they lying now. Is Obama giving them money? Why hasn’t he helped pay off Hilary’s debt? Obama’s character is a problem for me. I wish reporters would spend more time revealing his criminal ties to Rezko. This is alarming. Rezko is responsible for Obama’s rise in the political world. I know that the American people do not want to elect a crook. Check out the south side of Chicago. Obama turned on his own people while Rezko was pocketing millions.
I have said time and time Latinos who were supporting Hillary are going to go to McCain. Obama is not for the Latinos the way Hillary was. A big chunk of the Puertorican people are going to McCain. We the PR People did support Hillary but the Latinos can smell a RATON (RAT) in obama. The Majority of the Latinos in states like CO. OH, PA, MI, FL, are all going to McCain.
Latinos for McCain/Palin08
You’re right ; I’m a a hispanic Hillary die-hard supporter, who’s voting for Mccain-Palin Now!
Count me as a LATINOS X McCAIN!
