American political climate = 1995 Israel?

Here it is, with a history of updates.  http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/rosnerPage.jhtml

Obama was not rated dead last among the dozens of early contenders: there were plently ranked lower, including this fellow:

Russ Feingold The Jewish Senator for Wisconsin sponsored an act calling for the American embassy to be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. LAST SCORE: 5

Note - a Jew who wanted to move the embassy to Jerusalem ranked lower than Obama.

Obama rated lower than McCain by panel - but it was very close.

I didn't read every update, just the one starting from 2007.  I was going by memory in my first post, so my recollection is not perfect.  However, if you view all the updates from 2007 on, Obama is at the bottom or near the bottom of every one.
