If Palin were such an anti-Semite, then Joe Lieberman would not have been on the stage introducing her this morning. I don't think anyone can deny that he puts his personal integrity above answering to any political partners. (If you're not sure, just note that shiny new (I) next to his name.)
While I don't buy into any of the BS rumors about Obama (and I wouldn't care if he were Muslim anyway) I can't ignore the fact that he has a long history of close association with lunatics. Are people seriously going to bring up some African clergyman who gave a speech at Palin's church once, yet ignore the 20-year head pastor of Obama's church, who baptized his children? Really?
But the single most important reason why I'm voting for McCain is that our economy might not be strong enough to survive the nightmare that would be Obama rubber-stamping Pelosi and Reid's incompetence. Make no mistake -- Obama has NEVER gone against his party or his political masters (hello, Daley Machine). If we elect him, those two clowns will be running the show. That frightens even liberals of sense.
Palin may be a bit of a backwards hick, but it's pretty clear to me that she and McCain have at least a chance of injecting some fiscal responsibility into Washington. I have no such hope for Obama.
BTW, I'm a (relatively ;) ) young Jew who lives in Palm Beach County (I have a lot of very jealous friends who live in noncompetitive states where their votes won't count). I made my choice based on who would be best for America, not best for Israel.
