In what is perhaps an ominous sign of thin support for Presidential candidate Barack Obama within the PA Clinton camp, several top North East Pennsylvania Clinton supporters met privately with advisers to Republican John McCain — including top economic adviser Carly Fiorina — at the home of a political consultant on Monday.
The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain’s top economic adviser, and took place at the Dunmore home of political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of Mrs. Clinton’s family who has signed on as paid national director of Mr. McCain’s Citizens for McCain Coalition.
The attendees included Tony Rodham, Mrs. Clinton’s youngest sibling, his wife, Megan, and their two children; attorney Kathleen Granahan Kane, who coordinated Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign in Northeast Pennsylvania during the primary election; and Virginia McGregor, sister of Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty.
With the Democratic National Convention less than a week away, the gathering raises questions about the support Illinois Sen. Barack Obama can expect from former local supporters of Mrs. Clinton, who dominated at the polls in the Northeast in the April primary election. Mrs. Clinton won 74 percent of Lackawanna County Democrats to Mr. Obama’s 26 percent.
Taken in conjunction with yesterday’s article showing Pennsylvania is still firmly in play and news of a 12-point poll shift in favor of John McCain nationally, this is not shaping up to be the week The Obamessiah was hoping for.
Turns out people don’t really want to “change” to socialism.
