The end of ethnicity in politics
The End Of the 'Jewish Vote' (washingtonpost.com): "Religion is eclipsing ethnicity as a force in American politics. To be an Irish Catholic or a German Lutheran used to have real political meaning.

And next week Jews -- who have held out longer than their Christian brethren -- will finally choose sides."
