- According to the MoveOne.Org website for the first time in the organization's history they have "voted to endorse a candidate in the primary."
- They've chosen to endorse Barack Obama and according to the press release "The group, with 3.2 million members nationwide and over 1.7 million members in Super Tuesday states, will immediately begin to mobilize on behalf of Senator Obama. The vote favored Senator Obama to Senator Clinton by 70.4% to 29.6%."
- The press release went on to say "MoveOn's endorsement means a fresh infusion of people-power for Obama in the critical days before Super Tuesday. MoveOn will immediately connect thousands of progressive activists into the Obama GOTV volunteer operation. It will also use the same cutting-edge computer-based phone program that made 7 million GOTV calls for Democrats in 2006 to allow MoveOn members to call other MoveOn members in Feb. 5 states and encourage them to vote for Obama."
- This press release was issued on February 1, 2008 and www.realclearpolitics.com's national poll average for January 30,2008 through February 4, 2008 shows Hillary Clinton at 44.8% and Barack Obama at 41.6%.
