Dean meeting w/Jewish leaders in NYC; Davis maintained Jewish support

[pruner]

The Democratic frontrunner will spend some time October 17 at the sukkah of Lincoln Square Synagogue, a Modern Orthodox synagogue on Manhattan's Upper West Side, mingling with Rabbi Adam Mintz and students. Afterward, he will repair to a room in the synagogue with a raft of Jewish communal leaders, including the Anti-Defamation League's national director, Abraham Foxman, and Jewish Council for Public Affairs chief Hannah Rosenthal.

California's deposed governor, Gray Davis, maintained his strong support in the Jewish community, according to exit polling data collected by the Los Angeles Times.

According to the Times poll, fully 69% of Jewish voters voted against recalling Davis October 7.

The figure for the Jewish vote is the polar opposite of the vote among the state's non-Catholic Christians, 67% of whom cast their ballots to oust Davis, and it represents no change from the 69% support Jews gave Davis in 2002.

2. Good ..I love to see this..

"The meeting, which comes a day before most of the presidential candidates are to appear before a national conference of the Arab American Institute, is being sponsored by Dean's chief supporter in New York, Rep. Jerrold Nadler. Others expected to attend are Dean's national campaign chairman, Steve Grossman, and former Clinton adviser Sara Ehrman."


I like seeing Dean "talking" to all kinds of People ..we are such a big big Sky!

5. California Jews.

As a gay guy, let me say this: when the anti-gay marriage intiative qualified for the ballot here in the Golden State (thanks to the Mormon and Catholic Churches), guess which demographic group -- other than the GLB&T community -- went to the polls and delivered the highest percentage of votes against that hateful initiative?

California Jews.

For this I am ever grateful and always in rememberance.

6. I hope that Dean stands up for what is honest, fair, and just.

If he allows himself to knocked off his principle I will not support him.
