McCain loses conservative Christian vote, according to GodTube’s unscientific, but possibly accurate

Via the DMN religion blog:

GodTube is a Dallas-based online service aimed at Christians. It’s hosted a presidential poll that is no more scientific that me sticking my finger in the air. Self-selecting, non-random, it’s own population. But that doesn’t mean it’s not interesting. GodTubers (which sounds like a sacred potato, no?) clearly do not (heart) McCain. Specific results after the jump.

From my e-box:

DALLAS, Texas (Feb. 14, 2008) - GodTube.com has announced that despite the recent sweeping victory for John McCain, a stunning new GodTube.com poll reveals that if McCain wins his party’s nomination, Christian Conservative participants would rather vote for one of the two Democratic candidates.

With a slim 9.1% support for McCain, Obama has become a viable choice for many Christian Conservatives with 26.3% of the Christian vote, up 8% from last week.

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton showed no increase in the GodTube.com poll this week maintaining her 19.6% of the Christian vote while Republican candidate Mike Huckabee increased his lead 30% last week, leading the GodTube.com poll by 45% of the overall Christian vote.

Habonim spirit influences work of director Mike Leigh in ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’

Leigh's physician father and midwife mother met through Habonim, the Labor Zionist youth movement, in 1936. Mike Leigh, in turn, became a Habonim leader and traveled with the group to Israel on a ship as a teenager. The experience had a dramatic effect on his future work as an artist: "The atmosphere was one of chevrah, of sharing, openness and coming together -- of making things happen by colluding -- which describes the spirit of how I work with actors and the atmosphere of my rehearsals."
