#1 She may not have a Medal of Honor, but her politics makes me think of parallels to Teddy Roosevelt. Scares the heck out of elitist Republicans and has a good solid link to the common citizen. Of course this observation only goes so far. It's not 1889.

#2 #1 Ditto that "good solid link to the common citizen". What is good and right is wrong today.
The same people will vote for Obama in the next election. No change has occurred for them to vote for another. The seniors want their money, poor want their safety nets, students want their loans,those who work for the government want their jobs and so on. The Israeli are on their own. Those of the Jewish faith here
are nearly 100% for Obama. We shall all have sardines and Matzah at the Seder so to speak.
We shall all be poor.

#4 Thoseof the Jewish faith here are nearly 100% for Obama.

A vile canard. Only 78% of the Jewish vote went to Obama in 2008, and likely many of those will not vote for him or donate to his campaign in the next election, though they also won't vote for or donate to the Republican candidate.

At the community level alternate, non-Progressive Jewish organizations have been self-organizing over the past two years, Tea Party style. In Indiana entire congregations have left the progressive Jewish organization and formed their own group. They started working with one of the Republican state legislators, and when the Republicans swept both houses in Indiana last year, he got a resolution passed supporting Israel.

There is also the Republican Jewish Coalition.

#5 TW, That is great news. I wish it were true in my area as things have not changed among those I talk to.

#6 Glad to hear people of the Jewish faith are moving away from Progressivism. Hope the trend continues. Obama has done little to nothing to support people of the Jewish faith. One could think of him as anti-semitic. He has put Israel in a dangerous position.

#7 A vile canard.

I salute Trailing Wife for the use of this sentence.
