Rhonda Mosty, n of Wixom said, "I
think it's great, but I don't think it's
going to happen because of the way
people in this country are looking at
Israel. Unfortunately, people don't
look at the whole pic-
ture."
Emery Klein of
Southfield, a retired
businessman and local
political activist, says
he's "concerned about a
backlash of anti-
Semitism."

"I'm concerned that it Klein
may be harmful for the
Jewish community, but
if he is nominated, I will definitely,
support him," said Klein, who has
known Lieberman for years and has
supported him in his Senate cam-
paigns and the 2000 presidential race.
"Are people ready to see a menorah
in the White House?" asked Joel
Golden of St. Clair Shores. "Like it
or not, this is a Christian country
founded on Christian-based beliefs
and principles," he said. "The irony
may be that many voters may not
realize that Lieberman's Orthodox
upbringing and values might make
him the most moral president of this
or any other century"

Lieberman's caliber,
becoming president,"
said James Zack, presi-
dent of JARC.."But

considered the 'chosen .
people' by everybody"
While some people expressed con-
cern about Lieberman's ability to be
objective about Israel, most voters
queried felt differently.
"Joe Lieberman will have the best
interests of the country at heart,"
Ja.ckier said. "He'll view the issues not
as a Jew but as president of the
United States, with balance and
objectivity"
Sam Herman of Farmington Hills
agreed. "It's a very proud moment,
which will only be exceeded when a
Jew can run for office without his or
her religion even being raised as a fac-
tor.
Rabbi Daniel Nevins of Adat
Shalom Synagogue seemed to sum
up the feelings of the community
toward Lieberman's candidacy by -
saying, "Run. Joey, run!" Li
