I see - the Palm Beach Post isn't "mainstream", huh? Is that because it has too many Jewish readers? palmbeachpost.com Former Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Lieberman called President Bush a "strong and consistent supporter of Israel," but said Jewish voters should also weigh other issues and choose John Kerry. Lieberman told heavily Jewish audiences Wednesday that Kerry has an impeccable pro-Israel record as a U.S. senator and would be a strong ally for the Jewish state in the White House. But Lieberman said in an interview that Kerry needs to be more "explicit" about his support for Israel to remove doubts of some Jewish voters. Lieberman, a popular figure in South Florida four years ago when he campaigned as the first Jewish candidate on a major party presidential ticket, spoke on behalf of Kerry in Miami-Dade and Broward counties before making appearances west of Delray Beach and in West Palm Beach. After speaking to about 600 people at the Huntington Lakes community west of Delray Beach, Lieberman told reporters that Bush appears to have made inroads with Jewish voters, who voted Democratic by an estimated 4-to-1 margin in 2000. "We are dealing with a president who's had a record of strong, consistent support for Israel. You can't say otherwise. And I think John Kerry to reassure people has to himself be explicit" rather than having surrogates deliver the message, Lieberman said. He said he has urged the Kerry campaign to have the candidate speak more about Israel because "only John Kerry can eliminate those doubts."
