The question at this point, says Sarna, is whether Obama and advisers like Kurtzer can reassure Jewish voters uncertain about the candidate's experience and past associations, and keep them in the Democratic fold. Or whether this could be the election that demonstrates that Jews are no longer reflexively in one party—a longtime prediction, Sarna says, that has yet to play out.

If I choose to accept funding from a certain entity that is trying to support my efforts, this does not mean I am a member of that organization. It is equaly important not to accept contributions/support as it is to accept these contributions.

Obama's Gazan Contributions

UPDATED: CAN READ READ THIS ADDRESS?

Atlas reader Cathy has been indispensable in helping to track Obama's very questionable campaign donations. She found a one mother of a red flag. There is a large contributor in the 'G's'. Largest. Name is Monir Edwan. City is Rafah and the State is GA. You'd think GA is for Georgia. IT'S NOT! There is no Rafah Georgia.It's Rafah GAZA. Although election donor data indicate Georgia, USA here: Donation Details: Adwan, Monir | Rafah, Georgia. There ain't no such place in the land of Georgia peaches.

It's a Gaza refugee camp.

The file attached has both Monir & Hosam Edwan. Both from Rafah. Both over allowed spending limit. Here is the file: Download EdwanDetail.xls. It details Edwans's contributions totalling $24,321.41.The contributions are all to Obama the candidate. Different files for the party or committees.

Cathy's source of the data is from the FEC site. Presidential download file zip. Named ALL. Dated 6/30. She went back to find it today so I could be sure it was legit. Here is the link Unzipped it is the basis for everything she submitted.

How much money was raised from the phone banks in Gaza (see video)?

UPDATE: Schlussel weighs in

More on Obama's Foreign Contributions

UPDATE: First off, I will be filing a complaint with the FEC - either alone or through an organzization. Cathy found more detail:

There's more: Note these receipts are not inclusive of all the information in the FEC detail file.

In October of 2007:

Hosam receipt dated 10/30/07 is for $956.52 (general contribution) his Election Cycle total as of this date is $5,387.13. On the database this amount is redirected (where is not known) but his total is still above allowed amounts (IF HE'S AMERICAN).

Monir has two receipts. One dated 10/27/07 for $1,290.63 (primary - this is in the FEC file), the second dated 10/30/07 for $1,671.85 (primary - this is in the FEC file). The total on the receipt for Election Cycle is $9,598.54 (above allowed). NOTE THE TOTAL HE GAVE JUST ON 10/30/07 ACCORDING TO THE FEC FILE IS $7,435.81.

The phone banks were buzzing?
