		<description>@Tracy Allen: I haven&#039;t read the speech yet so I won&#039;t comment in detail.  But if he said what you say he did it&#039;s pretty lame-assed.  Everybody knows Jerusalem is going to be shared (I prefer not using the term &quot;divided&quot; since the nationalist Israeli right uses it).   To claim otherwise is going backwards rather than forwards.</description>

		<description>I enjoy reading your posts and am intrigued by your positions pertaining to Israel, I wonder what you think of Senator Obama&#039;s AIPAC address and his assertion that Jerusalem should not be divided?</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;@Eric:&lt;/p&gt;
Good point, Eric.  I read that Gallup poll.  Gallup used to skew Republican in the old days.  I don&#039;t know if it has a more centrist rep these days.  If it&#039;s still skewing rightward, the results might be slightly more favorable.  But at any rate, you&#039;re precisely right that Obama is pretty much where he should be at this point in the election cycle.  I hope that any journalists reporting on the AIPAC conference or the efforts of the Republican Jewish Coalition will sear these numbers in their brains.</description>

		<description>Considering this is a compliation of exit polls--probably going from late January until May--it&#039;s not the greatest source for what the Jewish vote is right now, post-Wright, etc. The better source is the Gallup poll from a few weeks ago (I think it came out at the beginning of May and was taken all through April) which had the race at 61-32 Obama. Still not nearly as problematic for Obama as one would think from all the news coverage.</description>

		<description>Right that they might have a less influence in presidential election but in the absence of other formidable voices, aren&#039;t the &quot;cheerleaders&quot; who &quot;lead&quot; the community in Capitol Hill and the White House? Hoping  J Street can make a difference...</description>
