I'm not Jewish, and so, not very knowledgable about the currents within the various branches of American Jewry. My impression, though, after years of observations of Jews I know is that they are mostly liberals first and Jews second. They are feckless. They may have had it with Carter, but they won't make any connection between the views of Carter and the views of the liberal world he represents.
I didn't know Carter was all over TV. Is he treated respectfully? Does he tone down his rhetoric?
I saw his stupid book on sale at BJ's last weekend. I took a look at the price that was marked on it, and was disappointed to see that it had not been marked down to $1.50 as I expected (I think it was around $12).
It may be that Carter's book and appearances will not affect Jewish voters who vote overwhelmingly Democratic (I think it was 75% to 25% in the last presidential). It just seems to me he is going out of his way to be confrontational.
