[lbo-talk] EI: Did Democratic delegates just vote down Obama bid to pander to AIPAC on Jerusalem?

[Joseph Catron]

This is absolutely hilarious. Obama tried to appease AIPAC by inserting
language on Jerusalem as "Israel's" capital into the Democratic party
platform, then faced a delegate revolt, but Los Angeles Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa declared that the change had passed by the necessary
two-thirds majority anyway (when anyone watching the video can see and hear
that it did not).
