The poll showing Jews rejecting Lieberman's candidacy is significant. Lieberman's popularity with Jews has always been overstated by the MSM. Jews supported Lieberman in 2000 ONLY because he was the Jew on the ticket with Al Gore.
It is Gore Jews liked. If Gore liked Liebeman, so did we.
But Jews are overwhelmingly liberal and, according to every poll on the subject, is the American ethnic group most opposed to the Iraq war.
Accordingly, Jews overwhelmingly rejected Lieberman when he ran on his own in 2000. Most supported Dean.
Yes, there are rightwing Jews: David Brooks, Alan Dershowitz, the AIPAC crowd, Feith, Perle, etc.
But they have no following in the community. Jews are the most predictable liberal Dems in the country and have been since FDR.
Lieberman will lose the Democratic primary and he'll lose the Jewish vote.
