The community en masse pushed for McCain votes, but according to CNN, the majority of the Orthodox Jewish community voted for Obama – as did I. Why on earth wouldn’t people?

all the Rabbonim of Chavrei Bada”tz were there, starting with Rabbi Osdoba Rabbi Segal, Rabbi Zirkind and Rabbi Bogomilsky, they spent yesterday at least 15 hours (from 6:30am till they returned at 10:00pm) showing their support to the rosh hakohol, the only one that wasnt present was Rabbi Shwei, so the chutzpa is on him not on the Rabbonim that spend their 15 hours

While New York State has largely been a solidly “blue” state for the past six presidential elections (including this one), it wasn’t always that way. New York went Republican in ’72, ’80, and ’84, and went Democrat in ’76 by a very narrow margin. Furthermore, just ten years ago, NY was represented by a three-term conservative Republican US Senator, our good friend, Al D’Amato, and recently for three terms by Republican Governor George Pataki. In short, Anash in Crown Heights should get out there and vote — and make sure their vote is counted.

Chutzpah??!!!?!?
