Who would have thought!

Snip//

If Barack Obama has a problem among Jewish voters, then Sen. Joseph Lieberman is in monumental trouble.

Among the most high-profile Jews in Congress, Lieberman is viewed far more unfavorably than the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to a new poll. Only 37 percent of Jews view the Connecticut Independent in a favorable light compared to 48 percent who have a negative perception. As for Obama, 60 percent of Jews view him favorably while 34 percent view him unfavorably.

The findings were released as part of a recent survey of American Jews by the new progressive pro-Israel group J Street. They seem to upturn some of this year's conventional political wisdom.

1. It Never Was Wisdom

Jews have a voting record of 80% or better in supporting Democratic candidates. I'm a proud third generation Jewish Democratic voter...with my kids now a very proud fourth. I know I'm very proud of Jewish Senators such as Russ Feingold and Barbara Boxer...or Congressfolks like Stephen Cohen and Jan Schakowsky. At one time Joementum was a source of pride, now he's an embarassment.

The corporate media goes into some old folks home in Boyton Beach and somehow this is how all Jews will vote? Sheesh.

2. Oh, that's just rich

Only 37 percent of Jews view the Connecticut Independent in a favorable light compared to 48 percent who have a negative perception. As for Obama, 60 percent of Jews view him favorably while 34 percent view him unfavorably.

:rofl:

Joe has GOT to be pissed about that. And after all the work he and others have done to make it seem like Jewish voters have a problem with Obama... poor dear...
