“They’ll pick on the minister thing, they’ll pick on the wife, but the major issue is color,” she said, quietly fingering a coffee cup. Ms. Grossman said she was thinking of voting for Mr. Obama, who is leading in the delegate count for the nomination, as was Ms. Weitz.

But Ms. Grossman does not tell the neighbors. “I keep my mouth shut,” she said.

    Obama Beats McCain Among Jewish Voters

    Yeah it's generally the loudest and more extreme Jewish leaders and writers who are anti-Obama (largely because he's not more vocally militant towards Palestine, Syria, Iran and other perceived threats to Israel).

    As Salon genius Glen Greenwald has noted repeatedly, a majority of American Jewish voters are moderates who do not support a militant and aggressive stance towards neighboring Middle Eastern countries. They support a two state solution. They support an end to the settlements and occupation. They support negotiations and dialogue.

    Mr. Braunshtein chimed in, saying he has been hit with flying pizzas and has received death threats.
    Do those two things belong in the same sentence?

    Does the phrase flying pizzas truly belong in _any_ sentence?
