The Jewish Week is published in New York. We are talking here about a trend in Georgia. New York needs a "McKinney family" and then maybe they could enjoy this trend as well.

"Now a major breach between these groups could hasten a breakup of this dependable Democratic coalition. And the spark that may cause the political explosion could be lit in Georgia."
