Expatriate Clinton Donor Expatriates Herself to John McCain
A former big money bundler for the Clinton campaign, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, has decided to back John McCain's campaign.
The expatriate who lives in London, and has packaged over $100,000 for Senator Clinton's campaign, has switched because she believes…
"Barack Obama is arrogant and has a problem connecting with average Americans."
Note that when she's talking about normal Americans, she means the kind of normal Americans who divide their time between London and New York, made a fortune in telecom and married a British banker with a name like a popular 1970s caramel candy, spent their honeymoon in the White House's Lincoln Bedroom during the Clinton years and inherited a title that causes her to be casually referred to by the press as "Lady de."
John McCain, it has been confirmed, has no problem connecting to those normal Americans.

Does anyone really think that this woman's opinions matter to the average American?

Now, Lady de can hang out with the likes of Gabriel Nathan Schwartz, because I am sure that she can distinguish finely between arrogant elitism and douchebaggery. Perhaps she can loan him some of her bling – he seems to be down a few nuggets.
