Lynn Forester de Rothschild Backs McCain

Debra Bartoshevich, a Hillary Clinton supporter turned John McCain backer, has some company.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a top Hillary Clinton fundraiser, won't be voting for Barack Obama either.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- John McCain's campaign says the Republican is picking up the support of a top Hillary Clinton fundraiser and member of the Democratic National Committee's Platform Committee.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild has said she thinks Democratic nominee Barack Obama is arrogant and has a problem connecting with average Americans.

Rothschild is a member of the DNC's Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York. She was one of Clinton's top fundraisers, bringing in more than $100,000 for her presidential campaign. She built a multimillion-dollar telecommunications company before marrying international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild.

In spite of her wealth and social position, Rothschild can see that Obama has a problem connecting with average Americans.

She understands his arrogance and his condescending "bitter Americans" attitude. Good for her.

And so it begins. The Clintons will not give up control of the Democratic Party to Obama. It ain't ever gonna happen.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild understands people. She is obviously a great judge of character. As an African American male I was never fooled by Barack Obama's rhetoric. He is a lying, flip flopping, resume fabricator who has told 17 verifiable 'lies' about his and his opponents' records.

I can't see the Clintons going quietly. I just don't buy that.

I give Rothschild credit for breaking ranks with her party.

She shouldn't be pilloried for expressing her belief that Obama should not be president of the United States.

Good for Lynn. People need to be able to make a choice. I tell my kids that I have voted for African American men for the mayor's job in Baltimore and that I'd be happy to vote for the first African American president.I just don't like or trust Obama. They call me a racist. It's nice to hear from an African American man that he isn't taken in by Obama's charm.

This election is not about skin color.

It's as simple as that.
