I never thought that Democrats would actually have to worry about Rep. Jerry Nadler, the rep from NY-10 district. Nadler has consistantly been one of the most progressive and best Democrats ever put into Congress and New Yorkers are all too aware of that by re-electing him numerous times over. On civil liberties, the economy, foreign policy, employment, Jerry Nadler's record is impeccable. One small very angry group of people are likely going to try to stop him and they could pull it off. Please follow me over the orange zest...
For those unfamiliar with Nadler's district, a good chunk of it includes Manhattan's Upper West Side. It's also home to many conservative and Orthodox Jews. Nadler made it quite clear early in the negotiations that he was willing to support the president and Sec. Of State Kerry's nuclear peace accord. This has made the Jewish community apoplectic to the point that they are actively searching for someone to primary Nadler. In their opinion, any treaty is a bad treaty and they will not accept anything less. This is reason for very serious concern. As we all have seen in the past, primary turnout usually is very low but the extremists will come out vote feverishly. Ask Eric Cantor how that worked out for him. Should Nadler lose the primary, there's a decent chance that the seat could fall into Republican hands. Democrats can't afford to not only lose the seat, but lose one of the best members we have in congress. Jerry's seat has never been in question before, but this threat is very real!
