In front of the cameras Senatorette Hillary Clinton says she supports Obama. But behind the scenes, my sources tell me, she has given permission for her staff to support McCain and is even encouraging them to do so all under the auspices of plausible deniability

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.

The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee.

Forester was a major donor for Clinton earning her the title as a Hillraiser for helping to raise at least $100,000 for the New York Democratic senator’s failed presidential bid.

In an interview with CNN this summer, Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Of course Hillary wants a McCain victory in November. If Obama wins Hillary will never have a chance at the Presidency which is what she really wants. Like any good Marxist (an oxymoron I know) she wants power and Obama is in the way.
