Candidate profile: John Edwards

In 2004, John Edwards lost the Democratic presidential nomination because he was considered a foreign policy lightweight. He won the vice presidential slot because his social policies had depth.

Four years later, Edwards\’ social and domestic positions remain pretty much the same — positions that are favored by the vast majority of American Jewish voters.

His foreign policies now have substance, too. That\’s what worries some Jewish voters.

Why Jews support Obama

You wouldn\’t know it from the flood of hysterical emails we have all seen, or from a fair amount of the commentary, but there is a groundswell of Jewish American support for Senator Barack Obama\’s presidential campaign. That should hardly be surprising, for it is a reflection of the nature of our community. When he speaks�\”with eloquence, unmistakable authenticity, and passion�\”for the values we hold most dear, he renews our hope for America in these difficult times.
