Rosner's Domain: The all time Jewish record: 44, final

Ethan Berkowitz of Alaska apparently failed to win a House seat. This leaves us with the 44 all-time-record of Jewish legislators in Washington. One short than what I expected (well, I expected Berkowitz to win).

44 is just one more than the record of 2006, and it was achieved thanks to the victories of two new House members: John Adler of NJ and Jared Polis of CO (Rep. Tom Lantos died in office, and that's why two additions were needed for a record). The battle in MN between Senator Coleman and comedian Franken is going for a recount, but will not change the Jewish tally.

The table with all names (just don't count the Alaskan) is here.

Why did you expect a Jew to win in Sarah Palin's Christian state?

Mike Feldman, Canada: Tom. In response to Rafael, you mentioned your familiarity with the leaflets, but I guess you didn't read what he said about water and food deliveries. I can see where you think if Hamas takes to hiding in civilians structures, the IDF should be obliged to wait outside until they come out and avoid property damage at all cost. It seems to me that the brave Hamas sought the protection the Geneva Conventions provides to cililians by acting as if they were civilians and hiding among civilians. You want the IDF to be responsible to the wreckless endangerment of the Gazans perpetrated by Hamas. Like Hilary RodHAM its not kosher.
Dan J USA: Tom..US 68...I heard you are trying to get a hearing on the bombing of the following cities we USA military did in WW2...Munich, Dresden, Frankfort, Berlin, Tokyo, Nagasaki, Hirsohima. Was killing all those civilians necessary to win that war. Oh well, I suppose that if a nation is attacked they should expect to be hit back ! Israel, by bashers like you is not allowed that priviledge! Aren't we in the USA fighting those same guys in Iraq and Afghanistan...By the way Tommy ole bean does the US military send out "warnings to the Taliban before attacking them. They do have e mail.
