This is not just a Jewish phenomenon, though a few thousand years of expecting to be scapegoated, persecuted, exiled or killed certainly contributes to the melancholic gene Jews are known for carrying, the optimism of a Ben-Gurion or Sandy Koufax notwithstanding.
Jews’ Support Spans Political Spectrum

Will Jewish Democrats line up behind Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), now that the veteran lawmaker\’s campaign for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination has been resurrected by Monday\’s blowout victory in the Iowa caucuses?
Perhaps, but Kerry would be wise not to start sending out the thank-you letters. By all accounts, Jews are doing what they usually do in primary battles: covering most of the mainstream political bases and in the process making sure the community is well represented in every campaign.

As an active member of the Southern California Jewish community and a celebrity media consultant who has authored 12 books on communications, it pains me to point out an unpleasant truth.

Whatever happens in this election, we\’ll always have Lieberman. It is easy to forget now, amid the post-election chaos, just how momentous a day Aug. 8, 2000, was. Al Gore stood before supporters in Nashville (little did we know those may have been his only supporters in Tennessee) and called Lieberman \”someone with the experience, the character and the judgment to become the president at a moment\’s notice.\” Then Gore said words that should ring in the ears of American Jews from that day on: \”With pride in his achievements, I am here to announce my running mate for vice president, Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut.\”
Jewish Angst

Recently, a Chinese-American doctor was monitoring my heart as the speed and incline were increased on the treadmill during a stress test. Perhaps he wanted me to relax; perhaps he was bored and was trying to make conversation. Apropos of nothing but my presence on the treadmill, he casually tossed the question at me: \”What do you think of Lieberman as the vice presidential candidate? Were you surprised?\”I gave a perfunctory answer, yes and no, and then heard myself say, \”When I was a boy, his nomination would have been astonishing. Jews were outsiders then. But now we\’re part of the U.S., just like any other white American.\”
