Top Hillary Supporter Backs McCain, NOT Obama

Interesting article found here

Brief Summary: Lynn Forester de Rothschild has thrown her support behind Republican John McCain, accusing the Democratic ticket of extremism and elitism.  Her logic was that the McCain-Palin government "will be a centrist government. It's not going to be an ideological government."

I found this article to be pertinent to our class discussion today.  Although this is "interesting" news in my mind... could it also be serving to persuade Clinton supporters that McCain is more desirable and suitable to be president?  It may be far-fetched but this is something that I would have never thought about or considered prior to this course.  The source or writer could be a Republican or McCain supporter who wishes to appeal greater to the Clinton fanbase.  I am not sure how/if Yahoo is politically alligned but I am uncertain as to the real motivation behind this fact being deemed as newsworthy. I am interested to see if more left-leaning media sources such as CNN cover this story (by justification, minimization, etc).
