Obama Supporters Say He Doesn't Need Jewish Vote

According to Obama's favorite liberal rag-The Huffington Post and Obama fundraisers, Obama has little need for the Jewish vote.

The Obama--oops I mean--Huffington Post reported the following on May 14,2008:

Does Obama Even Need The Jewish Vote?

The senator's ability to drum up grassroots support provides him with a robust activist base, somewhat but not entirely irrespective of opinion makers. And his fundraising apparatus, which relies on more than 1.5 million donors -- many of them of the low-dollar variety -- means he doesn't have to lean on major financiers. As one prominent Jewish Democratic fundraiser told The Huffington Post, "Obama doesn't need me and that isn't necessarily a bad thing." Indeed, Obama's success in bringing in campaign cash, longtime political observers say, has fundamentally altered the relationship between candidate and constituency group.

"If you are raising $40 million and month, month after month, only some of it is coming from Jewish community," said Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the Rothenberg Political Report. "It does dilute the importance of one group of contributors. Hollywood is, in this regard, also less important... organized labor may be less important as well."

It's a good thing he doesn't need it. From Obama's found favor by Hamas to his intentions to sip tea with Ahmadinejad of Iran, no Jewish voter in their right mind would give it to him.
