STEVENS POINT, Wis. - The Wisconsin Democratic Party moved Friday to strip a woman of her position as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention after she told a newspaper she would vote for Republican Sen. John McCain for president in November.

State party members voted at their convention Friday night to challenge Debra Bartoshevich's status as a delegate to the Denver convention in late August, when Illinois Sen. Barack Obama is expected to get the party's presidential nomination.

Bartoshevich, of Waterford, supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign and was elected a Clinton delegate from the 1st Congressional District. She was certified as a national delegate by the party last month.

When Clinton bowed out of the race last weekend, she urged her supporters to do all they can to elect Obama.

But Bartoshevich told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, as reported on its Web site Friday, that Clinton was treated unfairly by the party and she has deep reservations about Obama's experience, so she'll vote for McCain.

Those comments prompted Democrats to support a complaint asking the national party's credentials committee to refuse to seat her at the convention. The resolution said Bartoshevich violated a Democratic National Committee rule requiring delegates to support the party's nominee and not any other candidate.

If the move is approved, Democratic aides said she would be replaced by an alternate that had already been elected.

"It's extremely important that we send a message that Democrats in the state of Wisconsin will never support somebody who supports John McCain for president," state party chairman Joe Wineke said to cheers among the hundreds of party activists.

He said he was furious that Bartoshevich had given Republicans an opening to embarrass the Democrats.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin had already forwarded the story with her comments to reporters in a news release.

Bartoshevich, 41, told the Journal Sentinel she would vote for Clinton at the convention and then McCain in November.

"I just feel you need to have somebody who has experience with foreign matters," she said.

She said she got a call from McCain's campaign after she signed up with "Citizens for McCain," encouraged by her sister who has served in Iraq. The Journal Sentinel said the McCain campaign gave her name to a reporter.

Bartoshevich did not return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment Friday evening.

Party members said they felt betrayed.

"It hurts my soul and it hurts my heart that I have to stand here and do this resolution on a delegate who claimed to be a Hillary Clinton supporter who has now declared her support for John McCain," said Paula Dorsey, a party activist from Milwaukee.

They missed a few:

Ms. Phyllis Cadaver, 1908 Silvernails Ave, Pahrump, NV - once owned a pantsuit.

Gwnyneth McDoodle, 120003 Bittermuch Way, Punxsutawney, PA - had a "thing" for Bill.

Malcolm Guff, 117 Happy Hills, #9, Saratoga, NY - gets easily confused, no sudden movements, please.

Wow. Is that your attempt at humor?

Sure typical Nazistic Democrat party leaders in action! They do nothing but make up the rules as they go along, they bully the delegates to get on the Ovomit bandwagon and they eat their own(Hillary Clinton), now this is some kind of unified party that is inclusive and not divisive! I have never seen such a bunch of rabid out of control liberals take over a party and ruin it, and then stiff their best candidate and stick the rest of the party kicking and screaming with a total unproven joke of a candidate that attends church with a racist preacher. Only in the Democrat party could such chaos reign supreme!

Subjectively accurate indeed!

From a Gallup poll taken 6/5-6/10:

These so-called "Democrats" are just right-wing vipers in disguise.

Why, yes. Well spotted. You know, I never believed them when they said you didn't have that sense in you.

Well done!

Though I think a certain Mr John J. Hasbeen is missing from the list. And then there's David Hasslehoff of course - but he'll sign himself up to anything that will give him a free crack at a hotel mini-bar

Sure typical Nazistic Democrat party leaders in action! They do nothing but make up the rules as they go along, they bully the delegates to get on the Ovomit bandwagon and they eat their own(Hillary Clinton), now this is some kind of unified party that is inclusive and not divisive! I have never seen such a bunch of rabid out of control liberals take over a party and ruin it, and then stiff their best candidate and stick the rest of the party kicking and screaming with a total unproven joke of a candidate that attends church with a racist preacher. Only in the Democrat party could such chaos reign supreme!

Only in the Republican party can tell THE LIE OF THE CENTURY and get away with it.

McCain appeals to everyone, he is so inclusive and compassionate. Also striving to go against the grain and do what is right for his fellow American and reach out with an olive branch and work together in a non partisan manner. McCain in 08!
