DISCUSSION: DOES STARK DEMOCRATIC CHAIR HAVE A PROBLEM?

The STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report) has learned that an official within the Stark County Democratic Party is planning to vote for Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Local Obama supporters are outraged that a party official is planning not support the Democratic Party nominee.

The Report's source is not reporting the name of the official but promises to do so when the source feels the time is right. The Report will follow up on this article with the name when the name becomes available. The Report does know that the official is connected precinct committeemen/women operation of the party.

If this defection becomes more widespread, then it could mean that Chairman Johnnie Maier has a major problem on his hand carrying Stark for Obama.

Question: Is this defection likely to be an isolated occurrence, or, it is bound to be commonplace?
