From the Nation (a couple of days late):
Today Barack Obama earned the endorsement of MoveOn, one of the largest grassroots membership organizations in the United States, after clobbering Hillary Clinton by 40 percent in Internet balloting. Obama led the final tally 70.4% to 29.6%, clearing the supermajority required for the endorsement. MoveOn, which has never endorsed a presidential candidate before, boasts that it has 1.7 million members in Super Tuesday states. The group has over half a million members in California alone – roughly one out of ten primary voters in Tuesday’s largest state.
I actually say that this wasn’t a big deal yesterday. When you consider the number of people who actually vote in primaries vs. the membership of MoveOn.org added to the folks that are involved and/or at least wired into the MoveOn communications sphere … carry the 3 … yeah, this is actually a pretty big deal.
Congratulations, Barack.
