I am starting to wonder. Is the MSM simply repeating the same story again and again or are they actually interviewing and re-interviewing the same two now famous former Clinton Supporters who will vote for John McCain. Hillary Clinton Big Money supporters, Lynn Forester de Rothschild and Amy Siskind (who is not even listed as a Hillary Clinton donor on FEC.gov) are repeatedly cited by the MSM whenever they decide to do a PUMA angle. The stories always generically refer to "Hillary supporters," yet only these two individuals are cited. Occasionally, Big Media might cite some random individual claiming to be a Clinton supporter, but often this randon individual has no record of contributions to Hillary Clinton. Google both of them, and you will see how many times they are cited for a cheap quote, and often times they are the only "Hillary Supporters" referenced.
I guess if you want instant fame, you can contribute $201 to Hillary Clinton to achieve big donor status in the mind of the MSM. Then say you will vote for McCain, and the major players will then interview you again and again and again. If there are two of you, even better, because they can then use the plural, "Hillary Clinton supporters."
My point in posting this is not to bash Hillary, who I think would have been fine president, but to point out the deception or laziness of the MSM. Either they are simply recycling an old story or the MSM is simply interviewing the same two alleged Hillary supporters again and again.

Siskind said she was especially offended when Obama hired Clinton's former campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, to work with his vice presidential nominee. Given that Solis Doyle was demoted by Clinton, the appointment was perceived by Clinton loyalists as a slight.
"Most folks feel that the battle is over and he's the winner, but he's really acted like a sore winner," Siskind said. "If Hillary had been the nominee, you would have seen a much more deferential approach to Obama supporters."
Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a Clinton fundraiser who lives in New York City, said, "What I think is very important is that he has a problem with his image. He is an aloof candidate. He does not connect with people. He has words, but no ordinary person thinks that he is there for them, and women feel that intensely."
