Great Obama video for my lansmen:

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 [...]

The Pennsylvania Republican Party is now trying to distance itself from an official party email sent to 75,000 Jewish voters. The email says:

In another clip from her fingernails-on-a-chalkboard interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin yesterday promised never to second guess “Israel’s security efforts.” 

Palin’s comments put her in direct conflict with just about everybody in Israel.  Anyone who’s spent any time there (and I have) knows that Israelis are rarely of a single mind on any issue, particularly [...]

Yesterday, I noted that Sarah Palin was a Pat Buchanan supporter in 1999.  I suggested that the Obama campaign begin running ads in South Florida to point out to people who could be my grandparents that someone potentially very close to the presidency or actually in it once supported a Jew-hater for that office.
