The TRUTH about moveon.org's support of Obama.

Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 02:35 PM by grasswire

Moveon held an election to see which candidate it should endorse. Ballots were sent to members by e-mail.

Out of 3.2 million moveon.org members, ballots were returned by only 300,000 members. Seventy percent of the 300,000 voted to support Obama. Thirty percent voted to support Hillary.

So that means the moveon endorsement of Obama was based on only a bit more than 210,000 members.

210,000 members.

So it is really, truly wrong to say that moveon's 3.2 million members endorse Obama. Really, truly wrong.
