The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend: "a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."
He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior."
(CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)
Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).
"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:
A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist." (Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)
"A nutty lesbian blogger." (MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)
Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

9:15: Edwards is on, looking quite fatigued. He says he's staying in after coming in third.
9:10: Obama is speaking and underscoring the need to bridge the divide in race-based politics, and of course, effecting change overall.
8:26: MSNBC reports that Caroline Kennedy will endorse Obama tomorrow in the NYT. Here's the endorsement.
8:15: CNN for some reason has blowhard Bill Clinton on the air in Missouri, and he's been on for several minutes now, looking like he's the candidate on the campaign trail. And guess what? He's talking about change. He's insufferable, really, it's reached an almost public pole-stroking embarrassment level. The question is - why is the MSM giving him so much air time?
8:00: Exit poll demographics are here (MSNBC). A few key questions asked of voters...
Which ONE of these four candidate qualities mattered most in deciding how you voted today?

7:25: My headline for tonight: The "first black president" flushed his wife's support from blacks down the toilet in SC. The numbers speak for themselves. Black men: 80% Obama, 17% Clinton; black women: 82% Obama, 17% Clinton. (CNN):
Roughly 6 in 10 South Carolina Democratic primary voters said Bill Clinton's campaigning was important in how they ultimately decided to vote, and of those voters, 48 percent went for Barack Obama while only 37 percent went for Hillary Clinton. Fourteen percent of those voters voted for John Edwards.
With margins this big, Camp Hillary needs to rethink its approach on several levels, the reliance on the subtle and overt race-baiting, but also the issue of whether Southern men simply won't vote for her. She not only lost black women, Obama did as well as she did with white men -- Clinton 28%, Obama 27%, with Edwards being the candidate of choice (44%). That gender gap doesn't bode well if it plays out on the national level. This is such a mess.
7:10: After leading in SC by 20 points in the fall (82% Obama, 17% Clinton), Clinton bled all her support in the black female demo; they went overwhelmingly for Obama; white women split their vote between Clinton and Edwards. I think we know where the Clintons will be slinging their arrows now -- Edwards. 49% of those 18-29 voted for Obama. Here is an interactive map that will show how the votes are distributed in the state (not anything on there now, but it will provide an interesting reference later.
7:00: CNN reports that Barack Obama won based on its exit polling. MSNBC has also called it as well.

In other news...
* The New Mexico domestic partnership law has passed its House on a 33 - 31 vote.
* Two more blows for Rudy: Florida's governor, Charlie Crist, has endorsed McCain and a NY police organization has endorsed the Arizona senator as well.
6:50: The last Survey USA poll before the primary showed Obama up with 43%, Hillary Clinton 30%, and John Edwards 24%. On the racial split (you have to take these with a grain of salt), 18% of black respondents saying they'd vote for Hillary, with 21% of whites preferring Obama. About half of the voters in SC are black.

Interestingly, the exit polling (via AP), reveals that two-thirds of Clinton voters said Obama attacked her unfairly and nearly as many said she attacked him unfairly. Oy.
An interesting first-hand account on the ground can be found at Open Left by Matt Stoller. He was in SC along with a Hillary supporter (he's not), but made some interesting observations.
So this is just a follow up on my last post on voters liking Democrats. They tend to like them. They care about stuff, and it's not the dogwhistle racism that Clinton's surrogates have been putting out or the attacks on Clinton's integrity that Obama has been pushing. And I don't mean to go all 'pox on both your houses'. IMG_0396.JPGThat's not the point. And sure there are voters who claim they will vote Republican rather than for the nominee if it's not their nominee.
But overall, the trend is more towards people liking and trusting both nominees, and wanting to talk about their problems and fixing what Bush did to the country.
