I think you're a troll.

It's a minor defection. Hopefully Hillary will talk to her and encourage her to change her mind. If she doesn't... *shrug* Most people won't be so foolish.

I welcome it, it's good to clean the house of rats.

And yes your a troll, fuck off.

I'd ask her to leave the party. I wouldn't want ANY of my delegates threaten to vote for the guy whom I was trying beat in the end.

I'll tell you what.  She will not be registering a vote at the convention for McCain.  At worst, she will be forced to give a "Abstaining" vote.  The Democratic Party will not allow someone to vote for the other party's nominee at their own convention.

Now go back to your sinking HillIs44 Titanic.

Minor in breaking news and minor in life I would imagine. It certainly isn't someone that most respectable people involved in politics would care to know or associate with I think. People make their own choices and to make one to support McCain? LOL Good luck with that....

Delegates are picked for their liklihood (or rather lack of same) of switching sides at the convention.

It's no wonder that some of Clinton's delegates are very disgruntled; there are people like Lieberman telling them that the Democrats abandoned them and McCain is the only one who understands their trouble.

She'll either come around before the convention or be replaced.

It's not unheard of. Zell Miller voted for George W. Bush. Moynihan was a Nixon aide.

I think this isn't much of a diary.

In an interview, Bartoshevich expressed lingering unhappiness over the Democratic nominating process, said Clinton was treated unfairly by the party, and said she has deep reservations about Obama's lack of experience and his judgment.

"I'm kind of disenfranchised," she said.

If this election has demonstrated anything, it's that we really need some kind of public-service announcement and PR offensive to educate people on the meaning of the word "disenfranchised."  I have seen that word misused more often in the past year than I had in the previous decade.

words:

"No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her - that's by Susan B. Anthony," said Bartoshevich, referring to the famous suffragist.

So, she is voting for a party who ignores her, who's views on women she specifically and pointedly disagrees with and for a candidate who personally stands against the issues she states she is in favor or.

Great thinking.

(extra credit for toe tapping)

"No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her." - Susan B. Anthony

Yawn.

I think Wisconsin is in the bag for Obama. I think that within a pool of 2000 partisan supporters, there's going to be some people who can't let go. I think that a lot of people are running around like a chicken with their head cut off. And most of all, I think a lot of people just like to get themselves some attention by announcing stupid crap publicly like this.

"No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her - that's by Susan B. Anthony,"

So therefore, she wants to vote for the same GOP senator that wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and is clearly anti-choice.  All in the interest of being a "self-respecting woman."

Smart.

This is the Zell Miller rule, right? If you endorse the other party you lose your convention vote. Or is that just superdelegates?

You mean McCain might become the democratic nominee??

OH NOES!!~~~

There will always be idiots

"I'm sure people are going to be upset with me. I don't want to lose my national delegate status," says Bartoshevich, a 41-year-old emergency room nurse who is a convention delegate, pledged to Clinton, from Waterford in Racine County.

Just curious, does your support for McCain extend to his desire (stated today) to remake the SUpreme Court so they can overturn habeas corpus?

are worse than Obama's but the media isn't covering them.

Sounds to me like someone needs to be stripped of their delegate status.

I'm quite serious.

We did it to Joementum when he came out an endorsed McLame. This woman's tempter-tantrum vote is tantamount to an endorsement, given her position in the party. If we can strip superdelegates when they betray the party, we can do the same to delegates.

This seems more like one persons personal tantrum than the "defection" you may or may not be waiting for with baited breath.

Hillary should take her delegate status away and choose somebody who is going to support a democrat for president.

Hillary should call her.  If she still says publically she is voting for McCain, she should be stripped of her delegate status.  You don't come out and say that... this is politics... you say your going for the opposing team, you lose your status in the party.  Kick her ass to the curb.

What I think is that it confirms all the worst I assumed in the Clinton campaign and what it stood for.
