From Ha’aretz:
A new poll released by the Gallup organization on Thursday shows Jewish voters favor Barack Obama over John McCain by more than 3 to 1, with 74% saying they will vote for Obama over 22% for McCain.
In light of the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s despicable email suggesting that an Obama win would invite a second [...]
