    On Sunday, Turner fortuitously escaped the soaking here in the city as he traveled to Woodrige in Sullivan County to speak to potential supporters vacationing in the Catskills Mountains. Turner was accompanied by a campaign consultant, Jonathan Schenker, who is helping Turner navigate the Orthodox community.

    “Much of the district, they go upstate in the summer, in the Orthodox community,” Schenker said. “The men are up there for the weekend and the wives and the children up there for the week.”

    According to Schenker, Turner attended a house party with about ten supporters before hitting up the commercial strip in downtown Woodridge, where he was said to be well received at the local pizza shop. “They actually cheered,” Schenker said. “It was a great feeling for me actually.”

    It would be wonderful to have a Republican get the seat vacated by Rep. Weiner. Jewish voters are smarter than those who would only vote for a candidate based on their race or religion. Obama has been brought to us in part by those who voted for him because he looked like them…now we ALL suffer.

    While I do support Turner I am tired of getting mussar from anyone why I should support him. It makes us look like small minded people who cannot decide for themselves.

    “Turner was cheered in a kosher pizza shop”

    Azoy…that must mean he is the best candidate for the district. Its well known that those hanging around kosher pizza shops on Sunday mornings (as distinct from the Thursday night crowds at the chulent cafes) are the most sophisticated yidden and provide the best indicator of political trends. Seriously, though, I’ve yet to hear either candidate articluate a coherent set of priorities rather than simply pandering to the jewish vote with slogans and statements seeking to distance themselves from Obama.
