Clinton Backers, Brother Meet With McCain Adviser

A brother of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and local Democrats who backed her unsuccessful presidential campaign socialized privately Monday with a top surrogate of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain's top economic adviser, and took place at the Dunmore home of political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of Mrs. Clinton's family who has signed on as paid national director of Mr. McCain's Citizens for McCain Coalition.

The attendees included Tony Rodham, Mrs. Clinton's youngest sibling, his wife, Megan, and their two children; attorney Kathleen Granahan Kane, who coordinated Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign in Northeast Pennsylvania during the primary election; and Virginia McGregor, sister of Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty.

Clinton really only has herself to blame for the position she's in now. Like the habitual lottery player whose number hits on the one and only time she forgets to buy a ticket, she gambled on supporting the Iraq war as the key to winning the White House. She seems too skilled and too smart to have been misled into thinking that invading and occupying Iraq was a sensible idea.

The Clintons built their political dynasty on African-American votes. For 30 years they campaigned in black churches and courted black leaders. But when faced with an African-American primary opponent in Barack Obama, they went out of their way to dissociate themselves from black voters. It wasn't racism or a renewed passion for feminism, but a cold, pragmatic realization that black voters no longer served their interests and therefore became expendable.

Members of Puma PAC might eventually learn what black Americans and Iraq war opponents already have: If she can't use them, she'll lose them. Clinton is, in the end, the woman Jesse Jackson. She blazed a trail that someone else will follow all the way to the end. If their true aim is to see a woman in the Oval Office, Clinton and her supporters should hold their ire until next time around, to support the next woman who contends for the presidency"whoever becomes the woman Barack Obama.

Why do republics take pride in being ignorant?

[Felicty]

Well, they are not particularly smart to begin with.

[truthskr]

First of all, McCain will not accept a pro-choice running mate, and second of all, do you even vote on this issues or just on the name that you've most often heard? You are an embarrassment to Clinton and to the issues that she supports.

[nellie]

Couldn't care less.

[londonrainbow]

Carly will be MCSTRAINS running mate. Thats why the CLINTONS are pushing their agenda with Carly. TREASON!!!!!!!!

TREASON!!!!!!!!!!!

[londonrainbow]

THE CLINTONS think because they were the inevitable nominee, and lost, it has caused them alot of humiliation. Therefore, their strategy is, if we can't get in Obamabots ent getting in either. Selfishness at its very best.

[londonrainbow]

You know what. I am getting sick and tired of the ClINTONS - Hillary, Bill, TOny, all of them. They are secretly pushing a genda with RETHUGS. TREASON.

Oh BOy, Obama has to deal with so much crap from RETHUGS, CLINTONS, PUMAS, MCSTRAIN & CO., its disgusting.

I thought grown-ups should do the mature thing. Isn't that what we've been told, all our lives. It is really annoying seeing, Clinton supporters, PUMAs, threatening to support MCSTRAIN, even though his policies and Bush are the same.

I am now convinced some Americans are the dumbest in the world. No wonder the world is still laughing in our face and wondering how we voted for BUSH twice. DAMN!!!!!!

The biggest requirement for president is to be a good sheep herder.

[blowhard]

Carly Fiona is why we at MIT coined the phrase "Sloan school is part of MIT without the smart people."
She single-handedly collapsed HP, what more is there to say?

[greejambri]

they should all register as republicans and vote that way because, if they're playing footsie with the likes of john mcsame, i don't want them in the democratic party. they s__k.

[keepemhonest]

I heard Carly wants to defect to the dem party.

Carly told a women's group McCain voted for equal pay ... LIE

Carly told another women's group, "[John McCain] has never signed on to efforts to overturn Roe vs. Wade. ... LIE

Carly told Bloomberg John McCain WOULD raise taxes on the rich .... um.... never mind that McCain doesn't know the definition of rich ... McCain has said he would NOT raise taxes.

See, after Carly learned the truth about McCain ... she wants to switch to the democratic party ... simple.

I almost want McCain to pick the Hilldebeast just so her blind followers can SEE just what a betrayal that would represent.

And they would LOSE anyway...

[KarateKid]

God help us all if Carly the Outsourceress Fiorina becomes a Cabinet member of Grandpa. The stupidity of so many Americans really astounds me.

[HC4BO]

I guess the Clintons should just re-register with the republican party and get this over with ...

the fantasy you people live is not helping you in this election and probably your personal lives too.
