True, but that's why it's silly to act like a few disgruntled Jewish votes are a big bellweather this early on. He may win another landslide. He may lose another landslide. Or he may lose Florida in a close one and wish he hadn't annoyed so many Jews. Who knows?

Guess the joke's on them, isn't it. Turner can't do a damn thing about gay marriage in NY state, so they can stick that in their yarmulkes and smoke it.

The real lesson here is it's best to do what's right, even if it can cost you an election. It's what leaders are supposed to do.

Ha. Look who conducted the poll.. the NOM (National Org for Hetro Marriage), the most fiercely anti-gay org in the country. The poll was most likely rigged.

you don't understand why we voted for him. (it was a punishment to Weprin letting the world know he doesn't represent us, plus a few more reasons I'm not saying)

walk in to Flatbush or Kew Garden Hills and ask people nicely did you vote against Weprin for marriage (it's so obvious why people voted the way they did it's sometimes just called things like the reason, or the issue)
