It raises money for both. I didn't know that moderate Republicans like Lincoln Chafee were treif according to AIPAC supporters like Mark. And yes, supporting Al Franken in his bid to unseat Norm Coleman will be delicious. Though I know again it will hurt your & AIPAC's feelings because Norm is one of yr darlings. What is Abe Foxman? A flaming liberal? 'Nuff said. @markrvogel: First, J Street is two things–both a PAC and a legislative lobbying group. It raises money for both.

Second, former Sen. Lincoln Chafee a key supporter? Third, opposing Sen. Norm Coleman's reelection bid? Fourth, Abe Foxman is right-wing? Enough said. Mark R.
