A catastrophe for the Jewish people.
(And a mitzvah for thinking Democrats everywhere!)

The race is very much tightening. Ned Lamont’s lead is now down to 3% with 74% of precincts reporting.

Don’t read to much into the results as far as their effect on Israel. Lamont publicly and strongly supported Israel’s incursion into Lebanon and has supported Israel in the past on many other occasions. More importantly, a vast majority of Democratic elected officials also supported Israel’s actions and continue to do so. Democrats are not opposed to the use of force in all cases, but they do try and use some judgement about the best way to use American power. We shall see where the Lamont campaign goes from here.

“FINALLY” Americans are waking up! Sure hope it’s not to late! Lieberman deserves this almost as much as Bush & his puppet master deserve impeachment & punishment! Sure hope it’s not to late to save Freedom & America from con men, liars & despotic patriots!
