Next Tuesday is the special Congressional election in the old Anthony Weiner district.Normally this should have been an easy Democratic win.However this is a highly Jewish /Orthodox area, and the Jewish people,certainly the traditional ones are very unhappy with Obama over his treatment of Israel.The recent polls are close.Now, the Republican Jewish Coalition is sending 30,00 mailings to every Jewish home attacking Obama on Israel.
What with Ed Koch endorsing the Republican,we could have an important upset in the making.

The Dems are getting a little panicky.
