Hillary Clinton’s strong support from Jewish voters in Pennsylvania reaffirmed her strong support from Jewish voters nationwide, and provided further evidence that Hillary is the candidate positioned to win the general election in November.HIGH JEWISH TURNOUT HELPED BUILD THAT PENNSYLVANIA WIN: Hillary won the Jewish vote in Pennsylvania by 62% - 38%. According to CNN exit polls, Jews made up 8% of the electorate in Pennsylvania, which is more than triple their proportion in the population. Even though the primary fell during the Passover holiday, Jewish voters once again showed that we take our citizenship seriously!

She won by 20 points or more among Jewish voters in 6 states, including New York, Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania - 4 states which include some of the largest Jewish populations in the country.

I hope that you have had an enjoyable and meaningful Passover holiday. To see how our campaign celebrated Passover in Pennsylvania, you may enjoy reading Hilary Krieger’s story in the Jerusalem Post, “Clinton Jewish Staffers at Seder: Next Year in the White House.”

HRC could possibly when in November, but there’s no way she will when the nomination. My guess is that head to head with McCain she will be beaten on everry point that she’s running on.
So, suddenly Jews can’t do math?
But don’t worry, Obama is the better candidate anyway and should win - even easier then HRC. Especially since she’s running as a Republican.
AND if Obama should lose at least Jews can take solice in the fact that they voted for the candidate with Dignity and a Vision. Not someone who feels the only way to win is to play as dirty as the other side.

In what universe do you live in where a candiate who supports raising taxes, socilized medicine, surrender in Iraq, and refusal to drill for oil in Alaska is running as a Republican. Hillary is a very liberal Democrat, Obama is a radical Democrat.
Neither of them will win any state that voted for Pesident Bush in 2004, and Obama will lose purple staes like Pennsylvania.
This Jew will vote for the only candidate who shows dignity, our next President, John McCain.

I think you’re thinking of the McCain from 2000 not the McCain of 2008. This McCain has shown absolutley no diginity or concept of what decade he’s living in. Hopefully most people will disagree with what you think and vote otherwise.

For all you HRC supporters read this article: http://www.slate.com/id/2190556/ and then explain to me how she can possibly win the nomination. Not why she should win, but how.
