2008-06-17 List Of Democrats And Indys Backing McCain Is A Bit Of A Sham

2008-06-17 \John McCain\Hillary Clinton\2008 US presidential race http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/06/mccain_dems.php That List Of "Democrats And Indys" Backing McCain? It's A Bit Of A Sham. &ldquo;This is a fun one. A few days ago, the McCain campaign proudly released a list of "prominent Democrats and Independents" supporting his candidacy. The idea was to appeal to disgruntled Hillary supporters and others by sending a message that it's okay to be a Dem and not support Barack Obama. .. But there's only one problem: The list is a bit of a sham. A look at some of these "Democrats and independents" shows that it's a stretch to tout their support for the Republican as anything at all unusual.&rdquo;
