Rep. John Lewis has flipped and officially endorsed Obama.

The Dems have won shocking upset special elections in Florida and New York.
Obama may be the first Democratic nominee in a very long time that red state/district Democrats are eager to campaign with.
Al Franken picked up the SEIU endorsement.
And let’s pay attention to this:
…Iraqis have actually said the “surge” has “worsened” their lives. According to a September 2007 ABC/BBC/NHK poll (.pdf):
79 percent oppose the presence of coalition forces, unchanged since winter.
63 percent say it was wrong for the U.S. to have invaded Iraq, up from 52 percent in March and 39 percent in Feb. 2004.
47 percent now favor “immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces,” a 12-point rise since March.

I was in a doctors waiting room, (last Wednesday) sitting among us were 6 Jewish women, seniors over 70-80s range…discussing Clinton and Obama.
One said, Obama and Farakan are of the same religion – he’s no good for Israel, the other lady said, but I don’t like Hillary Clinton..her husband was president.. enough already.. what is it with her that she has to outdo her husband and be president too..what’s with that..can’t she be satisfied her husband was president?
Just saying only one anecdote but there’s that thought out there.
How did you know they were Jewish? I missed that part…
How many non-Jews discuss among themselves -while switching from English to Yiddish- about: preparing the house for Pesach (Passover), not making it to shule, (shule that’s yid lingo for synagogue) the rabbi, the new cantor..Israel bonds?

I don’t know how many non-Jews discuss Jewish issues. Do you?
But you sure didn’t add any information to your post to make clear your rude eavesdropping was anything other than guesswork.
And lets not forget to include mccains stunning record which has earned him the prize for being the lowest rated Senator with respect to supporting childrens needs! (Think Progress)
I gotta tellya folks- this is one bad character!
Barack Obama’s Senior Foreign Policy Adviser Samantha Power on Obama’s Call to Increase the Pentagon’s Budget, Hugo Chavez, Funding the Iraq Occupation and Attacking Pakistan
This is an interview of Samantha on DemocracyNow with Amy Goodman. You can watch it, listen to it, or read it. Whatever, you’ll probably be fascinated, like I was.
I did not like the fuzzy explanation on why we need to increase the size of our military by 95,000. Everything else is interesting if not outright optimistic.
In last night’s debate Clinton was asked about releasing her White House schedules?
Bush aides shed some light
It depends on what the meaning of “quickly” is.
Pleeease make her stop.
