The NJDC, J Street and The Israel Project are mentioned within the speculation, commentary and analysis contained in this very informative news video. You can also see that the JTA’s Eric Fingerhut is not the Ohio Chancellor of Higher Education’s Eric Fingerhut.
Last night in The Chief Source live-blog, another live-blog attendee and I exchange thoughts on the Jewish vote this year. My opinion tracks with what’s presented in this JTA video, but to reiterate: you will find Jews all over the spectrum because first of all, Israel is not the one issue even for some American Jews who might be one-issue voters (although for sure it may be for others), and second of all, when Israel is the issue being discussed, ideas about what to do there and in relation to that country resemble a page in the Talmud, which is to say, many opinions around one framed statement.

I would not be a fan of the Cantor pick. I dont think it is what McCain needs.
For the first time I have been scanning various blogs found under “Domocratic Women Politics”, and am wildly shifting between laughter and anger.
Laughter at the “Cattiness” of women when criticizing other women. The things being critiqued are not only meaningless, but the opinions or statements are erroneous and unsupported. Yet stated as absolute proven fact.
Anger at the lack of comparison between Palin and Obama or Biden. While short lived, her experience clearly she has demonstrated the ability to accomplish something which Obama has yet to do at all. Not to mention the fact that she was at work daily not on the campaign trail as during the equally short experience of Obama.
The fact that a Jewish supporter said she was fair to the Jewish community was met with ridicule at the number of Jews in Alaska. So Petty!!
Clearly Demo bolggers are more Demo than feminist. They use women’s rights only as a political tool unable to allow those rights to someone of differing political persuasion.
Stan – thanks for reading and commenting. I don’t read anying here the way you have, but I appreciate the contribution. Hope you’ll comeback and be more constructive (like provide reasons why you don’t agree – not just make sweeping generalizations that succeed in doing what you accused others of doing, which they didn’t do).
