I know many Jews over 40 that are wary of Obama. They feel he is a light weight and unfit to lead in a unpredictable world. These same people admire McCain's live story. They like his individual streak. However they are wary that if McCain becomes President, he will bow down to the Religious Right. Having Lieberman on the ticket would swing them to support McCain. But for every Jewish indie, we gain we lose a conservative. Many Jews don't normally vote Republican because Evangelicals freak them out. When Evangelicals talk of stopping gay marriage and partial-birth abortion, Jews feel that these are small steps in using the Govt to force them to be Christians. If doesn't help when Kansas conservatives push to have Creationism to be taught in govt schools or Roy Moore defying a court ruling to post the Ten Commandments. Such actions reinforce negative stereotypes Jews have of Republicans.
