On a campaign stop in Iowa, Dean was asked by a woman named Norma Jean Sharp about his position on Israel. According to The Weekly Standard, Dean replied, "They'll be all right. ... I'm not going to let anything happen to Israel. My wife is Jewish."

Ah the old "some of my best friends are Jewish" cop out. :)

As if there aren't leftwing Jews who would gladly see Israel disappear. Certainly the "new historians" in Israel would. And the nuts like "peacenik" Uri Avnery. Frankly, I'd deport them all, along with Arafat.

But I digress. :)

Dean stepped in it on this, and he won't recover. The Dean machine has begun to sputter.

Democratic primary voters are heavily Jewish. I suppose many of them are giving Kerry a good look now.

Frankly, I think Kerry will be the Democratic nominee. I think Dean has a few more gaffes left in him.

Well, I just wanted to add some of my best friends are Jewish too ;)
