Clinton Fundraiser Endorses McCain in 'Personal' Decision
ABC News' Hope Ditto Reports: Top Hillary Clinton fundraiser and member of the Democratic National Committee's Platform Committee Lynn Forester de Rothschild endorsed Republican presidential nominee John McCain on Wednesday.
Speaking to members of the media at the Capitol Hill Club, Rothschild denied that Clinton had any influence over her endorsement decision, stating that the two have not spoken since before the Democratic National Convention in August. Rothschild said her endorsement decision was a personal one and one that came after consideration of the vice presidential picks and convention performances.
"I really think that they [McCain and Palin] will bring the bold, bipartisan, centrist change we need in Washington," said Rothschild.
Rothschild went on to cite specifically McCain's record in the Senate as a primary influence in her decision. She said in such an important election, where economic and foreign policy issues are on the forefront, she considers McCain the best choice.
"John McCain will look for the best solutions to America's problems. He is not an ideologue and he is not beholden to special interests."
Rothschild said she hopes her decision to publicly endorse McCain will give like-minded Democrats the confidence to follow suit.
