Brett Lieberman, The Forward: Sarah Silverman was wrong: Older Jews more likely to vote Obama
Talkback
Title: If California Jews are any indication.... Name: MS City: Culver City State: California
...then Obama will get more than 80% of Jewish votes. Few Obama supporters have doubts about his strident support of a safe Israel, especially with Joe Biden as VP and former Congressman Mel Levine (a beloved figure amongst Jewish Americans in L.A.`s West Side) as his Middle East policy advisor. My friends and relatives in the Bay Area say that they - and other Jews there - are just as enthusiastic for Obama as those down here.TBF, McCain is also a supporter of Israel just as Obama and Biden are but Sarah Palin is amongst the most hated figures in the Jewish community of California`s big cities. If McCain had picked a different VP with more Jewish appeal like Lieberman or Crist, he might be doing better with Jews, but he had to pick a crazy fundie hillbilly slag.
