I am a strong Zionist in the weird position of deciding to vote for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton simply because I distrust Clinton so much. I know there are some problems with Obama (not his ancestry, but his associations) but I am voting on the Mensch Factor. I trust him more, period, and I would rather argue for Israel with someone I trust than with someone I cannot trust. A Democrat is going to take it this time, because of the widening fiasco of the Bush administration. People are too disgusted. Unfortunately, that leaves us with, well, Democrats. Between Hillary and Barack, I'm going with the one most likely to look me in the eye, whatever our issues. I trust him more than I trust her - not much of a recommendation, but it's the best I can come up with. We're going to have to keep communication and show American support of Israel as never before. We CANNOT rely on ANY President to do it all. But he's too skinny. I keep getting the urge to feed that man. G-d help us all.
