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: lydia. I understand you took a couple of days off to go on de-tox. It obviously didnt work. You're still full of it.
Mike Feldman, Canada: #54 Duncan Lennox. Curious hypothetical for you to quote. In all your previous blogs you denied that the Battle of Jericho per the Book of Joshua ever happened.Now you quote results of attitudes towards the battle. I'm looking forward to your review of the movie "2012, now playing in a theater near you.
Mike Feldman, Canada: #22. Let me give you what may appear to be a facetious contradiction to your post. Let's say my religion advocates killing my daughter because she wants to change her religion? Does that mean that I am not subject to secular punishment? The separation of Church and State was devised so that the state could not legislate religion. It was never intended to place religion above the common laws whcih are intended to protect the human rights of the citizens.
