A Lot of Israelis and a Lot of Saudis for Barack Obama?
The Washington Note —
Senator Jeff Bingaman's support group in New Mexico used to be called (and may still be) "A Lot of Folks for Jeff Bingaman." I always liked how unpretentious the name of his PAC was.
Well. . .I have stumbled across "A Lot of Saudis and Israelis for Barack Obama." They aren't a single group -- but it's clear Obama is popular across the Middle East.
I haven't received an email video of Israelis for McCain, though I know there are some -- and I haven't received graphics that are pro-McCain and anti-Obama from Saudi Arabia. If I do, I'll consider posting ...

Sarah Silverman, Israeli Production Team, Go To Bat For Obama
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Barack Obama is getting an assist among Jewish voters from two different short films that couldn't be more disparate in message or nature.
On Wednesday, Sarah Silverman, wielding a somewhat restrained but still sharp tongue, launched "the Great Schlep," a video designed to persuade Jewish youth to visit their grandparents in Florida and persuade them to vote for Obama.
"If Barack Obama doesn't become the next president of the United States," she begins, "I'm going to blame the Jews."

Great video. Joe and I both got goosebumps. And after you check that out, make sure you read my post from yesterday about McCain and Palin and their rather troubling connections to anti-Semites. Then send the link for the video to your Jewish friends, just copy and paste this into an email: http://tinyurl.com/ObamaIsrael

I think no matter how lapsed you are, how assimilated, how little respect you have for Judaism as a religion or skepticism you have about Israel, when push comes to shove, if you ever had the slightest bit of Jewish identity, there is something in your gut that makes you Jewish forever. You can be a practicing Buddhist. You can be a Wiccan. You can believe that Israel does itself no good when it elects right-wing warmongers and practices atrocities against the Palestinians.

The best news in this is that it is possible to view the Jewish vote as a microcosm Yes, Jews always vote Democratic. But the ebbs and flows tend to reflect the country at large. The two Democrat nominees in recent memory who fared poorly among Jews were Carter (45%) in 1980 and McGovern (65%) in 1972. (Note: Carter won a plurality of the Jewish vote. It was a 3-candidate race).
