Wally,
I'm wondering if only those of the Jewish faith will get the joke. I don't think so, but there are probably a few people at least confused by it.

geez...the jokes in that race pretty much write themselves.
And Paul Arohnson isn't even around!!
what are they running for?
Representative Slice?

Cheap Wisecracks Aside, Camille Abate is Also Running...
http://www.abate08.com/
In my experience she connects well with voters in one on one situations, does well in debates and gives exciting speeches.
Camille also is a nimble and knowledgeable trial attorney in the field of civil rights law. And has a long record of progressive activism.
If she manages to win the primary; Garrett is in for a very unpleasant surprise.

about the blind rabbi replacing the Rotarian who's running against the hysterical liberal in the primary in a race Democrats can't win?
Oh, that's not a joke?
Vote Column "A" - All the way!
Send in The Clowns...
...should be the theme song for your senate candidates; now that's a joke.
Practice makes poifect...
