[edit] Political affiliation of Jim Downey

The New York Times of March 13, 2008 provides additional information about Jim Downey and politics in an article titled "Pro-Clinton? ‘SNL’ Says You’re Joking" by Bill Carter. In the following quote the term "Both men" refers to Lorne Michaels and Jim Downey.

"Both men said that most members of the cast and writing staff favored Mr. Obama as a presidential candidate, and Mr. Downey said that he would definitely vote for him if he were nominated. (Mr. Downey said he was a registered Democrat.)" Garson (talk) 04:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
