Top Hillary Clinton fundraiser and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, Lynn Forester de Rothschild is throwing her support and wallet behind McCain.
Why?
Barack Obama commented on the upheaval on Wall Street today saying it is ”the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression.” He also links it to Bush.

It was a good end to the summer fundraising season for both candidates.
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama raised $66 million in August, a record for a presidential candidate.

Today in Ohio, Sarah Palin repeated her “bridge to nowhere,” line which originated in her speech to the Republican National Convention last Wednesday. It has since been debunked several times and it has been proven false that she told Congress “thanks but no thanks” for the project that has become a symbol of wasteful government spending.
Palin did abandon her onetime support for the bridge after winning Alaska’s governorship, but only after federal dollars dried up. Moreover, she kept the federal funds already given to Alaska, reports the Huffington Post.
The Obama teams response?
