The Associated Press reports that Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter, will endorse John McCain for president. The endorsement will take place in Washington today.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild is a member of DNC's Democrats Abroad. She built a multi-million dollar telecommunications company and is married to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Lynn Forester de Rothschild divides her time between London and New York.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild believes that Barack Obama is arrogant and that he has trouble connecting with average Americans. I could see both sides to Lynn Forester de Rothschild's claim. On the one hand, Barack Obama failed to win over many Reagan Democrats and working class voters. Obama's comments about bitter Pennsylvanians may have caused voters to think he is out of touch. Yet many also like the fact that Barack Obama is mixed-raced, came from humble beginnings, and was raised by a single mother.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild endorses McCain over Obama: Other cross-party endorsements

Lynn Forester de Rothschild is not the only prominent cross-party endorsement. Democrats Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller have spoken at Republican conventions. Zell Miller's speech at the 2004 Republican convention stringently warned against making national security a partisan issue. Joe Lieberman's speech this year was more conciliatory, citing McCain's record of bipartisan legislation and comparing it to Obama's party-line voting record.

Lynn Forester de Rothschild may find competition for Republicans for Obama. Such Republicans are dissatisfied with Bush's foreign policy and deficit spending. Some conservatives were against the Iraq war, arguing that traditional conservatives were isolationists. Such Republicans include Lincoln Chafee and former Jim Leach
