Brian Greespun, Las Vegas Sun owner, switching from 40 years GOP to Democrat
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 09:21 AM by LVZ
I know the frustration many people are experiencing and can only imagine the financial pain that many others are having to live with. In fact, I have been a Republican since I registered to vote 40 years ago. I am so fed up with Washington and the Republican administration that I intend to change my party affiliation Saturday so I can caucus for Sen. Clinton. For those of you who don’t know me, trust me, this is a really big move.

That is a huge change in my personal voting life. A Democrat in the White House in 2009 would also be a huge change in the lives of many millions of Americans.

4. College roomie and longtime personal friend of Bill's
From Wiki:

"Editor and president Brian Greenspun, Hank's son, is a personal friend of former president Bill Clinton. While in office, Greenspun welcomed Clinton as a houseguest while Clinton was fundraising in southern Nevada."

Kind of not as big a deal as would seem at first blush.
