"I find her offensive"

John McCain was making a bid for South Florida's Jewish voters, a crucial demographic in a purple state. But then he chose Sarah Palin as a running mate.

    Why exactly are Jews anti-Palin?

    It isn't clear from the article why Palin is such an affront to Jews.

    Some Jews are cited claiming to have heard she is an anti-Semite. This is the first I've heard. Wexler supposes her pro-life, anti-stem cell research stance will turn off voters, but is this any different from McCain's views?

    This article claims that Palin may have turned the tide in Democrats' favor, but it doesn't say why. It feels like this entire article has a basis that goes unexplicated, and it was the one question I really wanted answered when I began reading it.
