Why is Hillary's brother meeting with Carly Fiorina?

[americanstranger]

A brother of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and local Democrats who backed her unsuccessful presidential campaign socialized privately Monday with a top surrogate of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain's top economic adviser, and took place at the Dunmore home of political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of Mrs. Clinton's family who has signed on as paid national director of Mr. McCain's Citizens for McCain Coalition.

The attendees included Tony Rodham, Mrs. Clinton's youngest sibling, his wife, Megan, and their two children; attorney Kathleen Granahan Kane, who coordinated Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign in Northeast Pennsylvania during the primary election; and Virginia McGregor, sister of Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty.

With the Democratic National Convention less than a week away, the gathering raises questions about the support Illinois Sen. Barack Obama can expect from former local supporters of Mrs. Clinton, who dominated at the polls in the Northeast in the April primary election.

WTF, over?

[wyldwolf]

1. is she her brother's keeper?

[still_one]

8. It is trying to paint guilt by association which is B.S. There is no doubt Hillary

is behind Obama, and there is a fair possibility no matter what the media whores say, that Hillary might be the VP

If that becomes reality, those few so-called Clinton supporters are going to be looking mighty foolish

12. OP was posted without comment.

I'm not making an accusation, just wondering why this meeting would be taking place.

Take your 'guilt by association' somewhere else. Thanks.

14. I wasn't attacking the OP, I was attacking the media whores /nt

9. No, and she couldn't keep a leash

on bill, either.

16. WTF?

2. McCain/Clinton?

[mtnester]

3. You know, my sister does idiotic stupid shit all the time

I have never been able to stop her.

4. This belongs in the Lounge

[pnwmom]

5. I have a sister who is Republican.

The one who lives in Texas.

It can happen even in "nice" families.

6. Maybe he needs a job.

So he went to Carly to see if he can get one if McCain wins.

7. Terms of surrender?

Yeah, I'm the eternal optimist.

10. Isn't Tony Rodham married to a Cuban American with a pro-embargo agenda?

That might be the other brother, regardless that is another thing I did not like about Hillary and her impact on Bill.

11. There's probably some cash in it for him.

This is one of Hillary's nefarious brothers cashing in on their sister, again.

McCain is trying to siphon off some Hill supporters, and sending Carly after Hill's brother and some dead enders is to be expected. It reflects poorly on Hillary, of course. You'd think she could keep her sleazy brothers on better behavior.

13. Hillary DID come from a Republican family.

So that doesn't surprise me.

[City Lights]

15. Since Hillary didn't get the nomination, he's not sure who he's gonna support.

Rodham, a self-described “yellow dog Democrat all my life,” is unsure who he would support in November if Clinton is not the party's standard bearer.

"If my sister doesn’t end up with the nomination, I gotta take a look at who I’m gonna vote for,” he said.
