The Republican won in NY 9, the special election to fill Anthony Wiener’s seat. This is a complete political upset, and the marriage issue was part of the story. Yet, today, the former head of the CA Republican Party says it was all about Israel. The Jews voted for the Republican over Israel. End of story.
Hello: It seems to me there are quite a few Democrats who are soft on Israel. It seems to me there are quite a few Jews who vote routinely for Democratic candidates, regardless of their position on Israel. I wonder what it could be that was different in this particular case?
Gee, there was a widely publicized vote on the definition of marriage in New York state in the past few months and these two candidates diverged sharply on the issue. This heavily Democratic district voted against the candidate that voted against natural marriage. What will it take for the political establishment to accept the fact that marriage is a winning issue?
