Somehow, I get the feeling that observant Jewish people have no problem at all with Governor Sarah Palin, but see her as someone who shares many of the same values (pro-life, standards of decency and morality, respect for God and the Bible, etc.)
Florida State Senator Steve Geller [D]... attributed that partly to recent visits to the Sunshine State by high-profile Democrats such as vice presidential nominee Joe Biden as well as the strong endorsement of Hillary Clinton from the convention floor... But mainly Geller chalked up the difference to Palin... Her views on social issues - pro-life, anti-gun control and the like - definitely helped discourage Seymour Ross of Delray Beach from voting for the Republican ticket... "I still would have been going in the direction of Obama, but it makes it a little bit clearer" ...the Obama campaign has increased its Florida outreach efforts, announcing that it formed six Jewish Community Leadership Committees throughout the state comprised of backers involved in Jewish non-profits, schools, synagogues and other facets of the community. They also count several rabbis among their members, some of upwards of 400 who have joined the campaign effort as part of the group "Rabbis for Obama."
