HopeChange!

The Wisconsin Democratic Party on Friday replaced a national convention delegate for saying that she planned to vote for Republican Sen. John McCain for president in November instead of Sen. Barack Obama.

The unanimous conference-call vote of the Democratic Party’s Administrative Committee removed as a convention delegate Debra Bartoshevich — the first time in the nation a state party has taken such action.

“I don’t believe Senator Obama has the experience to run this country,” she said, adding that McCain “has a stronger resume.”

Her ouster as a delegate “is what they wanted,” Bartoshevich said of state party leaders. “I won’t drink the Kool-Aid.”
