Mr. Brown's announced choice as a running mate — did not play a significant role in Connecticut, where the former California gover- nor split the Jewish vote with Gov. Clinton, according to exit poll data. Some analysts suggest that Mr. Brown could con- tinue to do well with Jewish voters in New York — an apparent contradiction that may be explained by the angry, frustrated mood of the electorate. Jewish voters may simply be lashing out at what they see as a poor set of choices — the dominant political re- sponse of 1992. But if Mr. Brown does wrest the nomi- nation from Mr. Clinton — something few regard as likely — the Jackson factor could become a dominant one in the Jewish commun- ity. And that could produce a grudging turn to the Repub- licans for many Jews — or, more likely, a low Jewish turnout in November that could seriously undercut Jewish political clout. A Brown victory in New York could also force Democrats to turn to a new candidate — an outcome that would not displease a number of Jewish politicos. "If Brown does very well in New York, it could derail Clinton," said Allan Lichtman, a political historian at American Uni- versity who has developed a sophisticated system for predicting presidential elec- tions. "We may then see a deadlocked convention; without an outright majority, anything is possi- ble at the convention. We haven't seen more than one ballot in 40 years." Some Jewish political leaders are quietly talking about just that kind of scenario. "In some cases, people in this community would like to see the process opened up," said Nathan Landow, Maryland's Dem- ocratic party chairman. "Maybe there are a lot of people saying 'none of the above,' who are hoping that some other candidate will emerge at that time. It's a long shot; the rules of the party make it difficult to happen, and that may not be in our best interests." Mr. Landow mentioned a handful of alternate choices, including Sen. Al Gore,. Rep. Dick Gephardt, Sen. Lloyd Bensten, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Sen. Bill Bradley and the ever present Gov. Mario Cuomo. TO-YOUR-DOOR LEASING 7 DAYS A WEEK!
