RACINE, Wis. — Republican John McCain had coffee Thursday with a former Wisconsin Democratic Party delegate who wanted to vote for him at her party’s national convention instead of Barack Obama.
McCain met Debra Bartoshevich, her 16-year-old daughter and Bartoshevich’s father at a Racine coffee shop before heading to the city’s civic center where about 1,000 people attended a town hall meeting.
McCain thanked Bartoshevich for her support, calling her a “dye-in- the-wool Democrat.”
Bartoshevich had pledged to support Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. But after Clinton lost the Democratic Party primary to Obama, Bartoshevich said she intended to vote for McCain instead. The state Democratic Party dumped her as a delegate last week.
