Jews Sport Partisan Buttons, Kippot, and Tzedakah Boxes

Are you as engrossed in the Presidential election as we are? A survey from the American Jewish Committee shows the Jewish people split 60/40 in favor of Barack Obama.

Jews are a tiny minority -- less than 3% of the population of the United States. Still, we've been courted by candidates consistently throughout the years.

New York Times has an article today on People of the Button. With a slide show exhibiting campaign buttons going back to 1940 Wendell Wilkie's run.

A couple weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal had a piece on partisan yarmulkes.

At ModernTribe.com you can choose a donkey or an elephant and see which one can gather more coins before election day.
