As I described in this recent post, I can certainly see why a Democratic woman would want to back John McCain's presiential bid. Get your copy of a Handmaid's Tale highlighted and ready!:
Washington - As an avid supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries, Debra Bartoshevich is not alone in her frustration over Clinton's defeat.
She’s not alone in refusing to support Barack Obama.
And she’s not entirely alone in saying she’ll vote this fall for Republican John McCain instead.
But what makes her unusual is that she holds these views as an elected delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Denver this summer.
“I’m sure people are going to be upset with me,” said Bartoshevich, a 41-year-old emergency room nurse from Waterford in Racine County, and convention delegate pledged to Clinton.
Joe Wineke, chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, reacted with disbelief when first told Friday afternoon that one of his state party delegates is now a McCain supporter.
“Not a delegate? To the national convention?” said Wineke, who was getting ready for the start of the Wisconsin state party convention Friday in Stevens Point.
“We have a Clinton national (convention) delegate who says she’s voting for John McCain?” Wineke repeated, for clarification. “I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
I don't know what power the DNC or Wisconsin Democratic Party have to throw this idiot overboard. As this article points out, a resolution has already been proposed by another Hillary Clinton backer not to seat her at the convention. That would seem to be intelligent course of action.

Idiot indeed.
ptooey on her and the rest of the NON- Democrats.
Thanks, Cliff.
she is just like the idiots who supported Nader in 2000 because “there just isn’t any difference between Bush and Gore”
Ptooey indeed-this lady needs to be unseated fom the convention.
Bartoshevich=Lieberman.
nuff said.
Out with them.
Perfectly put
Strip that delegate status or make Hillary responsible for getting this person to publicly denounce this position and vote Obama at the convention.
Idiot
