Clinton Keeps Campaign Kosher

In an interview with CNN’s Larry King, ex-President Bill Clinton said he would begin campaigning for Obama in Florida, to Ohio, to northeast Pennsylvania, and Nevada “at a minimum” in October, “after the Jewish holidays” are over.

Clinton, not known for his kosher ways, was asked by King,”Are you kind of feeling Jewish that you’re waiting until after the Jewish holidays?”.

“No. But I think it would be — if we’re trying to win in Florida, it may be that — you know, they think that because of who I am and where my political base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the ‘cracker vote’ there, Clinton replied.

“But Senator Obama also has a big stake in doing well in the Jewish community in Florida, where Hillary did very well and where I did very well. And I just think respecting the holidays is a good thing to do,” he said.
