Why isn't anybody mentioning AIPAC's role in all of this sudden hyperventilating over Iran?
Go to AIPAC's website, and you'll find a full-blown Quicktime/Windows Media Player extravaganza pimping the threat posed by a nuclear Iran.
A good portion of the Democratic Congressional caucus has been captured by AIPAC. That's why we get ridiculous statutes like the Syria Accountability Act that are overwhelmingly supported by Democrats in the Congress.
Democrats who are not sufficiently "pro-Israel" in AIPAC's eyes are targeted for defeat in lavishly funded primary challenges (Cynthia McKinney and Earl Hilliard are two that come to mind).
I know it's impolite to mention AIPAC's role in all of this, but that group's influence over the Democratic party is not a healthy thing.
Especially when two of its top lobbyists are under Federal indictment for passing our national-security secrets to Israel.

Ohio isn't a "bell weather" state; it's a bellwether state.
