McCain has been touting his Democrats for McCain for the past week. Talking Points Memo effectively debunks the list of “Prominent Democrats” included.
Some of the “Democrats” and “Independents” on the list already have often supported Republicans in the past, suggesting that there’s little if any meaning to their support for McCain over Obama. And others have a history of hostility towards the Democratic Party that makes it difficult, if not impossible, to take them seriously as genuine cross-over supporters.
I’m going to keep an eye on the list for John Atkins to appear as “An independently-minded Democrat and former member of the Delaware House of Representatives.”
