107. I've seen no statistics on how Jews are voting in the 2016 primaries.

But this is the second article I've seen claiming Jews were more excited about Joe Lieberman.

Personally, I'm Jewish, and in 2000 and 2004 I knew zero Joe Lieberman supporters of any religion.

Today, I know multiple Jews who support Bernie Sanders and multiple Jews who support Hillary Clinton.

I will have to tell everyone at the synagogue where I work to take off those Sanders shirts, I guess villager Mar 2016 #1
