Interview With Jewish Supporter Of Hillary Who Switched To McCain

Jennifer Rubin has an interview with Rabbi Cheryl Jacobs, who made the switch:
What would she say to other Democrats who have never voted Republican and have policy differences with McCain? Rabbi Jacobs responded, “The hardest thing is to prioritize.” She listed the numerous issues–from the economy to education–and acknowledged that voters are “worried about all these different things.” She continued, “But Israel is a no-brainer. The safety and existence of Israel is uppermost.” She explains, “My husband and I sat done and thoroughly reviewed the issues.” She continued, “This is the fight of my life.” She bluntly states, “Someone with no experience, no background, and someone with no test of his ability–and he is in charge of the red phone? It terrifies me.”
Read the whole thing.

As Rubin herself admits, this does not mean that there will be a flood of Jewish Democrats running to vote for McCain, but it does indicate that Obama has a problem.
