Obama's slam dunk on Israeli court

Democratic candidate gets 90% of votes in survey among American basketball players in Israel

The first ballots in the United States have already opened and all the polls predict a sweeping victory for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama over his Republican rival John McCain.

 

Meanwhile, it appears that in Israel the vote has already been decided. A random survey conducted by Ynet among American basketball players in the Israeli premier league clearly indicates that, at least here, Obama is the next president, with 90% of the votes.

 

The only player who said he supports McCain was Todd Golden, Maccabi Haifa's Jewish guard.

 

His teammate Tamir Goodman (who has been dubbed "the Jewish Jordan") had an original proposal of his own, when he said he plans to vote for "the Messiah."
