Who is Ellie Light?

Her name sounds surreal: "ELLIE LIGHT." But who is she?

A new controversy is making its rounds about this mysterious Obama fan who has been writing letters to the editors of our nation's newspapers, telling us why Obama is still the ONE, and why he has such a grueling job as president and we should all give him a break.

To date, "Ellie Light" has written to the following newspapers:

- The San Francisco Examiner
- Ohio Mansfield News Journal
- New Mexico’s Ruidoso News
- South Carolina’s The Sun News
- Daily News Leader of Staunton, Virginia

...to name just a few, all of them with the same letter to the editor, and claiming addresses in the locales served by those papers!

Ellie Light sure is omnipresent, isn't she? Is she real? Or is she a clandestine Obama supporter engaging in "Astro turfing"? (That's creating a fake grass roots movement).

Given Obama's sinking approval numbers, I wouldn't be surprised if Ellie Light's real last name turned out to be Axelrod.
