Turner won Brooklyn handily. Some are saying because the Orthodox Jewish vote there went heavily G.O.P. due to Obama’s anti-Isreali policies.
Lets hope that is a sign of things to come and that it spreads to many Reformed (liberal) Jews as well. I do not expect their votes, but if they just don’t vote for Obama or send him money? That would be great.
There are lots of Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn. I suspect that the biggest issue may not have been Obama’s antisemitism, but Orthodox rabbis who were furious at Weprin for voting for gay marriage.
Cuomo managed to push gay marriage through, but I suspect that the voters of New York may not be all that happy about it.
