Obama Beats McCain Among Jewish Voters


In a gallup poll conducted from April 1 to April 30th found Obama beating McCain by a large margin of 61% to 34%. This is based on Democratic and non-Democratic Jewish voters.

Will TPM be calling Obama the Black President of the United States?


Earlier today, Eric Kleefeld, posted <i>In a further sign of political decline for Hillary Clinton, African-American Congressman Donald Payne New Jersey has now switched his allegiance from Clinton over to Barack Obama. "It's time now for us to pull our party together," Payne told the Newark Star-Ledger. ... Obama has also picked up Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), while Hillary has gotten freshman Rep. Chris Carney (D-PA).</i>  Please note that Rep. Peter DeFazio is not preceded with "White" or "Italian-American."

I strongly denounced his use of African-American Congressman to identify Donald Payne, and a very very large number of readers strongly agreed. This is a throwback to less progressive times. Eric later added <i>"Later Update: Just to clarify a certain point, Payne's switch does beg the question of whether Hillary's statement about winning more white voters has alienated her in any way from black supporters"</i> If this is an attempt to justify the AA identification it doesn't.

A 5:10 pm google search of the term <i>African-American Congressman Donald Payne </i> yields one result -- TPM. I got 31 hits with <i>Congressman Donald Payne</i> Eric has so far refused to edit the post. I thought this was a progressive blog.

Two More Super Delegates for Obama - One Switched


N.J. Rep. Donald Payne switched from Clinton to Obama. Rep. DeFazio from Oregon endorses. According to Politico, 267.5  to 264.

A Calculating Hillary Says She Has Won


She claims that Obama said that Indiana is the tie breaker. She has won Indiana so its on to the White House. Next comes her  appeal for more money. It's all about money. She purposely lied in order to get donations. How cynical can you be.

Obama wins North Carolina


Looks like it will be double digits.Time to breeak out the champagne!

Operation Chaos?


7% of people who voted for Hillary Clinton, said they would NOT be satisfied if Clinton won the nomination. This should be against the law if it's not along with the misleading robocalls.
