US Jews Favor Clinton for White House

Trojan_Horse · 12-12-2007, 07:33 PM

The overwhelming majority of American Jews will vote for Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Hillary Clinton in next year's presidential elections, a new poll has found.

Of 1,000 self-identifying Jewish respondents interviewed by the American Jewish Committee (AJC), 58 percent described themselves as Democrats, 26 percents as independents and only 15 percent said they were Republican.

Senator Clinton, the former First Lady, was the favorite choice of seventy percent of Jewish Democrats.
Her rivals John Edwards and Barack Obama received forty-eight and forty-five percent respectively.

Despite continuous efforts, including two appearances in Chicago and in the annual AIPAC conference in which he committed to unrestricted support of Israel, Obama seem to suffer from a credibility problem as far as his commitment to "Jewish" issues.

Good for them...she will still most likely NOT be the nominee.

I heard today on CNN that there was a survey of big business and Giuliani won with Clinton second. I can't find it anywhere, though. Got a link to that?

Last national poll put edwards up as the likely winner by double digits against ALL republican candidates...as to the big business poll haven't read it.

I think they're favoring Bill, like the rest of us liberals.

Of course, she wants a war with Iran!

Since the publication of the NIE findings on Iran's nuclear programme, US officials and generals have been assuring Israel that Iran remains a strategic threat.
Instead of being relieved, not to say trigger happy, by the overarching consensus of the US intelligence community that discounts Iranian nuclear danger, Israel is bombed out.
The government of Ehud Olmert, Israeli's prime minister, made it clear it is not convinced by the conclusions of the National Intelligence Estimate report and that it will prove them wrong through evidence of its own.
Awaiting Israel's revelations, its neoconservative and evangelical allies have expressed their doubts about the honesty and intentions of the report's authors and accused them of politicising the intelligence to fit their political agenda.
Some referred to them as state department moles in the intelligence community.
It is not the absence of a "smoking gun in the form of a mushroom cloud" that's upsetting those "bomb first, verify later" ideologues. Rather it's how the new findings pulled the rugs from under their war plans.
You can be sure Israel and its US lobbyists will continue to fight nail and tooth as they are pulled away from the brink and in line with America's strategy in the Middle East.

Polls? I should trust a poll? The only poll I trust is the one on election day, AFTER the voting has stopped & all the votes counted. Remember President Kerry? Or the most famous one of all, President Dewy?

The Mirage of the Mortgage Fix

Joy, joy, the Fed has cut rates again.

Picture the Joker from the movie Batman throwing money from his float on the parade and you can see where this is going. Or imagine the alchemist of medieval lore, attempting to conjure up wealth from chemical mixtures.
The sea of inflationary credit is the core problem behind the falling dollar, the subprime crisis, the housing meltdown, not to mention the rise in the national debt and a thousand other problems.
