Yassir Arafat and the overwhelming majority of American Jews agree: Kerry's the one. According to a poll sponsored by the National Jewish Democratic Council (which hardly seem to be an unbiased source), 75% of American Jews plan to vote for Kerry.  Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post reports that

Palestinian officials are quietly pinning their hopes on Democratic candidate John Kerry winning the US presidential election.

I long ago remarked on Lucianne Goldberg's radio show that the voting habits of American Jews put to rest the old stereotype of Jews being smart. This juxtaposition seems to confirm the quip.
