Mystery Woman Phones into Smerconish Radio Show

Politico’s Ben Smith is reporting today that Ellie Light, the mystery woman who has been penning letters to publications around the country — and getting them published — may be a traveling nurse. Her letters praised and defended President Obama in a way that caught many an editors’ eye.

A woman claiming to be Light phoned into Philadelphia-based Michael Smerconish’s radio program this morning.

Smith said he’s not 100 percent convinced that this Light is the Ellie Light.
