Update 9pm: 30% of precincts reporting, Cohen has 80% to Tinker's 18%.
She's been condemned by Emily's List, Obama, Harold Ford and Keith Olbermann too. And the anti Nikki Tinker media blitz continues; the New York Times weighs in, and over at the Washington Post, Tinker is charged with waging "the nastiest Democratic primary in the country."
The Nikki Tinker ad that many have pegged a "seriously Jew-baiting TV ad" is back online (watch it below). The infamous ad has been widely condemned as anti semitic for it's reference to Jewish Congressman Steve Cohen as a visitor to "our churches." Previously, Tinker ran an ad that attempted to link Cohen to the KKK. If Nikki Tinker were to actually win this thing, she should expect an ice cold reception from her colleagues in Washington.
The polls close tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
