This is great.

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.

So, a woman married to a guy who has been knighted; a woman married to a guy who (per wiki) "is a British financier and a member of the prominent Rothschild banking family of England"; and a woman that splits her time between London and New York..... says that Obama is elitist.

It's sad how much personality drives politics. She didn't even address Obama's policies.

[clevername]

she just "doesn't like him". I'd bet 2 pence she doesn't like him based on the way the democratic nominee race went.

It won't be a large percentage, but a significant number of former Clinton supporters/voters will do the same. It's depressing and mind numbing.

Obama +2 on Gallup
Obama +3 on Diageo
Obama +4 on Research 2000
McCain +1 on Rasmussen

ARG just released a ton of polls. Most of them were obvious anyway.

Nevada, Missouri, West Virginia and Montana are all close. That looks really good. A little disappointed about Colorado, but it'll come back once the numbers balance out. This is practically old information already. These polls were all put together sometime last week. Obama has since surged back up. Places like Nevada, West Virginia, Ohio, Colorado and Missouri could very well be tied or even blue in the polls by now.

I find it funny that McCain gets something like 84% of the white vote in Mississippi and Louisiana, but the media and others don't want to say that it could be a race thing.

For a Dem to be plus anything on Rasmussen is excellent.

What throws me off is that if you look at the ARG numbers, the two items don't really jive. ARG has McCain ahead in a lot of states, and often by some large margins. But Gallup/Rasmussen/Research 2000/Diageo have tight national races with Obama a little ahead.

Do you know what % voted for John Kerry?
