Massachusetts Sen. Paul
Tsongas to third place with
17 percent.
West Bloomfield
homemaker Ricki Rogo
favored Mr. Brown. "He's
no-frills," she said. "He is
down to earth. He has good
ideas. He is not as polished."
Oak Park's Martin Messer
also was rooting for Mr.
Brown. "He's the only grass-
roots candidate in this race,"
Mr. Messer said. "There
hasn't been a people's can-
didate in years."
Mr. Brown didn't do as
well in Illinois, where Mr.
Clinton swept the primary
and Mr. Tsongas placed se-
cond. This brings Mr. Clin-
ton's delegate count to 942 to
Mr. Tsongas' 435, making
Mr. Clinton the front-runner
to face President Bush in
November. Mr. Clinton
needs 2,145 delegates to
secure the nomination.
On the Republican side,
the president easily defeated
challenger Pat Buchanan
with 67 percent of the
statewide vote to Mr.
Buchanan's 25 percent.
Former Ku Klux Klansman
David Duke, whose campaign
is out of money and who never
showed up in Michigan
before the primary, barely
took 2 percent of the votes.

Mr. Duke, the candidate
who initially posed the most
threats to Jewish voters,
became the largest non-issue
in the race. Mr. Buchanan,
labeled anti-Semitic by the
American Jewish Congress,
took over Mr. Duke's
momentum. Yet even he
hasn't won .a primary.

"Originally I planned on
voting Republican because I
didn't want Duke in, but it
was no longer important to
vote against him," said West
Bloomfield piano teacher
Morrine Silverman. "I voted
for Clinton because he is
more pro-choice and more for
Israel."
Republicans dissatisfied
with the president said they
would vote for a Democrat.
Democrats, afraid of can-
didates like Mr. Buchanan
and Mr. Duke, considered
voting for Mr. Bush.
Farmington Hills
homemaker Carolyn Marks,

Schwartz

who usually votes Repub-
lican, questioned President
Bush's attitude toward
Jews, yet said she would
never vote for Pat Buchanan
or David Duke, each reputed
as racist and anti-Semitic.
Instead, she chose Paul
Tsongas, who seemed "more
pro-business."
When the polls opened at 7
a.m., Republican Michael
Alan Schwartz stood outside
the voting precinct at the
Maple-Drake Jewish Com-
munity Center, soliciting
signatures to place himself
on the August ballot for the
West Bloomfield trustee
race.
For those who didn't rec-
ognize him, he explained he
was "one of Dr. Jack
Kevorkian's (inventor of the
suicide machine) attorneys."
Mr. Schwartz voted for Mr.
Bush because no one else
appeared much better.
"I could live with just
about any of the Democratic
candidates," he said, adding
Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Duke
were the only thorns in the
race. "But we've lived with
Mr. Bush for four years and
can do so another four
years."
Mr. Schwartz believes his
vote for Mr. Bush should
make a statement about the
Pat Buchanans and David
Dukes of the world.
"I don't want to see a
Buchanan come out well so
that in 1996 someone like
him comes out too strong,"
Mr. Schwartz said.
Truth and Martin Messer
of Oak Park arrived early at
the city's fdurth precinct, at
Avery School. Yet Trudi
Messer had a different can-
didate in mind when she
voted. Her choice was Mr.
Tsongas.
"I know Mr. Clinton will
go forward at the Democrat-
ic convention," Mrs. Messer
said. "But I wanted to come
out in support of Tsongas
anyway."
No matter who the can-
didate will be, the Messers
join many other Jewish
voters in their dissatisfac-
tion with President Bush.
The Jewish community is
outraged with the ad-
ministration's opposition to
