(No Obama)
America's most liberal senator is having some problems in the heartland.
Rep. Dan Boren (D-OK) will not endorse the most liberal senator in his road to the presidency.
The AP reported:
Democratic Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma said Tuesday Barack Obama is "the most liberal senator" in Congress and he has no intention of endorsing him for the White House.UPDATE: Meanwhile, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland (D) announced that he will not run as the VP candidate with Barack Obama.
However, Boren will vote for Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August and will vote Democratic on Nov. 4.
"I think this is an important time for our country," Boren said in a telephone interview. "We're facing a terrible economic downturn. We have high gasoline prices. We have problems in our foreign policy. That's why I think it's important."
Boren, the lone Democrat in Oklahoma's congressional delegate, said that while Obama has talked about working with Republicans, "unfortunately, his record does not reflect working in a bipartisan fashion."
Boren, a self-described centrist, is seeking a third term this year in a mostly rural district that stretches across eastern Oklahoma.
UPDATE 2: A Hillary-supporting Jewish donor is bailing from the Democratic Party to support John McCain:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is attracting elite Jewish Democratic donors who backed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and are concerned about Sen. Barack Obamas (D-Ill.) stance toward Israel, say McCain backers who are organizing the effort to court Democrats.UPDATE 3: Israel Matsav has more on Obama's Jewish problem.
McCain has already had several fundraising events with Jewish Democrats in Washington and Florida, say his supporters.
He also has the backing of Democrat-turned-Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.), who made history as the first Jewish vice presidential candidate and has recently raised questions about Obamas foreign policy vision for the Middle East.
Stephen Muss, the Florida developer, is the biggest Democratic donor and fundraiser to pledge his support for McCain and the Republican National Committee, said a GOP official. Muss has given tens of thousands of dollars to help Democratic candidates in recent years, including $80,000 to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 2000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics and CQ MoneyLine.
Dare we think that some Democrats with residual brain cells are finally realizing they'd better do some quick side-steps before they also get thrown under the "Obama Express?"

If one thought through the situation earlier, how would you expect a candidate to get the Jewish vote and support while he is so closely tied to Farakhaan and that church.

I predict the change Obama will bring about is he will cause more Dems to crossover to independent or Rep. This in the future will blur the party lines and most likely reduce the influence of the two major parties. In the near future candidates can't rely on Rep or Dem but the strength of thier ideas.
Just heard that Jew-baiter Tony McPeak is being considered for VP. That'll put him in solid with us Elders.

not only that, but how illogical is it for the Jewish Community to support a candidate who is anti-Iraq Liberation??
did they not give one thought as to what would happen if Obama scuttled all the progress that's been made in Iraq and throughout the the ME??
what about his unconditional support for Iran (yes, not speaking out against the regime is the same as agreeing with it)??
i just don't get it..

Too late. The reaction to Obama by Americans in the Jewish community is too late.
ReplyDeleteDemocrat president Bill Clinton already invited Afafat into the White House in 2000.
When Israel is wiped off the planet never forget that it was Sen Chuck Schumer and his Democrat gang which stabotaged every effort to confront global Islamic Jihad all because of their bloodlust hatred of GWB and all things Republican.
As one who used to rally for the defense of Isreal, while at the same time enduring NYC Jews screaming that 'America is a evil hegemonic empire under Bush the Hitler for Oil BUT America should defend Israel' American Jews have taught me not to give a crap what happens to Israel.
Too late.
I am sick of this game
