McCain speechwriter defects, supports Obama

That would be headline splashed across every newswire in the country except that it happened in the other direction. I picked this up from Newbusters‘ PJ Gladnick by way of Bits Blog;

Wendy Button, who became disillusioned with The One and switched to supporting McCain. Here are the highlights of Wendy Button’s explanation of why she made the switch:

Since I started writing speeches more than ten years ago, I have always believed in the Democratic Party. Not anymore. Not after the election of 2008. This transformation has been swift and complete and since I’m a woman writing in the election of 2008, “very emotional.”

Young lady, only when the switch is made from Republican to Democrat will it be mentioned in the MSM.

See any major US news outlets reporting it?

Ya know, with the race tightening to within the margin of error and now this defection, you have to wonder what’s happening inside the Obama campaign. No Democrat would get a sudden attack of conscience less than a week from the victory the media has promised Obama unless there’s something up.

Well, maybe the fact that this “spread the wealth around” yammering rings a little hollow when Obama fails to fund the school named for him in Kenya that he promised to support, his half brother lives in squalor in Kenya and now the Times Online finds an Obama aunt living in the slums in Boston.

If I was big on that whole “social justice” thing, I’d start questioning Obama’s committment to the cause based on his hypocritical behavior that doesn’t seem to follow his talk.
