Jackson's Big Victory Prompts Concerns KIMBERLY LIPTON Staff Writer he Rev. Jesse Jack- son's overwhelming 2 to 1 victory last week in Michigan's Democratic caucuses has opened a Pan- dora's box of questions and concerns for the Jewish community. National political analysts suggest Jackson's triumph has put a crimp in the presidential bid of Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, who they say had been regarded as the front- runner among Jewish Democrats. Still, most Jewish activists do not expect Jackson to become the Democratic nominee for president. Democratic leaders said Jackson won because he brought passion and excite- ment to a race otherwise fill- ed with lackluster candidates. Jackson, they said, also got people out to vote in a state where one of every four Democrats is black. Leon Cohan, president of the Jewish Community Coun- cil, suggested that Jackson's win is multifaceted. Aside from the passion and ability to get people out to vote, Cohan said, Jackson won crossover votes. Cohan said some Republicans voted in the Democratic caucus simply for impact. Jackson, he added, also appealed to young and idealistic voters. Some political scientists are speculating that a Jackson presidential ticket would force historically Democratic Jews into the Republican camp. Other political pundits are hesitant to analyze the ongoing race, which could result in a brokered conven- tion for the Democrats this July. Marc Pearl, director of the Americans for Democratic Ac- tion, said it is difficult to tell whether the Jewish com- munity would be able to ac- T cept Jackson in a leadership role. "This is a community that never forgets; until there's a firm repudiation of the Far- rakhan connection, I don't think the Jewish community will be able to do this," Pearl said. Jackson has consistently refused to discuss his rela- tionship with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan who, in the past, has issued a number statements con- sidered to be anti-Semitic. Jackson said that Farrakhan is not a part of his current bid for the presidency. Jackson also has come under fire from members of the Jewish community for his past embracing of Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yassir Arafat and his appeals to Arab-American voters. Pearl said that Jackson's victories could backfire by generating a movement among Democrats to rally behind another candidate. In Michigan, Jackson secured an estimated 113,140 votes to Dukakis' 61,568, giv- ing the Baptist minister 53 percent of the total votes, ac- cording to Michigan Democratic Party officials. Dukakis, thought to be the favorite, lost in both the 17th and 18th Congressional Districts, which have the highest concentration of Jewish voters in the state. Yet in Oak Park, which is 40 percent Jewish, Dukakis defeated Jackson by 100 votes, according to Oak Park Mayor Charlotte Rothstein. Of 1,675 votes cast in the ci- ty, Dukakis secured 815, Rothstein said. Absentee ballots, many cast by members of the Jewish community not wishing to vote on the Sabbath, have not yet been counted. Like other Democratic ac- tivists, Rothstein said a Jackson win could hurt Jews in the country.
