During the last 24 hours at least 2 key Democrats have announced they are jumping ship and will be supporting McCain-Palin in November. Both were Hillary Clinton supporters.
Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a major Clinton supporter, states she intends to vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin. But here is the big news about this defection from the Democratic ranks--Forester is a member of the Democratic National Committee and served on the Party's platform committee, according to CNN.
As we have said all along, in the end Obama will prove to be much too extreme even for many Democrats.
Another national figure who tends to vote for Democratic candidates, Donald Trump, announced that he is voting for McCain-Palin as well. Politico reports that Trump is upset that Hillary Clinton was not chosen as Obama's running mate.
Trump also opposes Obama's economic proposals, stating that the tax increases necessary to pay for Obama's new government programs would be terrible for the economy.
If anyone should know what's good for the economy, it is Trump, who has made a fortune, lost it, and made it again in his career. This is only more evidence that the Obama economic plan spells disaster for the country.

You should probably report that the National Organization for Women (NOW) endorsed Obama (http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=69716§ionid=3510203
And that Senior Republican Senator Chuck Hagel thinks Sarah Palin is not ready for national office:

Independent voters like myself are taking notice.
But this is not news.
As an independent voter, you should be aware that the fact that NOW is endorsing a Democrat is par for the course and nothing new or out of the ordinary.
In like manner, Chuck Hagel has been so far outside the GOP mainstream that his statement is nothing unusual, either.
But the 2 Democrats who jumped ship to support McCain-Palin made news--this is highly unusual for both of them. And this is the type of thing that gets reported, not something that is just more of the same.
