    "I find her offensive"

    This article is part of what is wrong with the all the media's coverage of the election. The McCain campaign is "swift boating" Obama by misleading Jewish people not just in Florida, across the U.S. into thinking Obama is bad for Jews and Israel. I did not fall for it, and my friend and family have not either. In fact, those of us that originally supported Hillary Clinton have given our support to Obama. Then, there are those who from the start supported Obama. I do not know where the media gets the idea that Hillary supporters do not know what to do. It is such a slap in the face to think that we would ever consider voting for McCain because he chose Palin on his ticket. Palin not only gives women that Hillary represents and continues to fight for a bad name, but she scares all Jews into making sure that no one like her every gets our support. Just because McCain's campaign has no more tricks up their sleeve they think they can win with a smear campaign. Well maybe they can if media such as you do not do your job and show that this is just another ploy by the people raised by Carl Rove to fool the American public.
