A supporter of Barack Obama displays buttons with 'Barack Obama 08' written in Hebrew during a Jewish community meeting at a synagogue in Philadelphia, PA.
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.
