Jews are the chosen people

posted by on November 7 at 23:01 PM

Haaretz reports that the number of Jews in the Senate will increase as Joe Lieberman retains his seat and Ben Cardin fills the vacant seat in Maryland. Florida, Arizona, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and possibly other states will send freshman Jews to the house.

Don't count your Jews before they serve their term...

Assuming that the Dems get the Senate, could Rove's final play be: Bush accepts Rumsfeld's resignation, Appoints Independent Lieberman as Secretary of Defense and Connecticut Governor Rell (Republican) appoints a Republican to fill Liebermans Senate seat, putting the Senate under effective Republican control with Cheney's vote as tie breaker.

What do you think? (I feel a little sick in my stomach...)

Can't wait for the GOP to dub it the Senate of Shylocks.

If Allen wins in the recount, will he caucus with the Jews?
