Several Jewish Democratic incumbents are fighting for their political survival as Americans head to the polls.
Lawmakers under threat Tuesday in a midterm election cycle that has seen a conservative/Republican resurgence include U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and Reps. Ron Klein (D-Fla.), Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz), Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), John Adler (D-N.J.) and Steve Kagen (D-Wis.).
Rep. Paul Hodes (D-N.H.) appears set to lose his bid to win New Hampshire’s open U.S. Senate seat, as does Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher , a Democrat.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) looks like she has beaten back a challenge from Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard.
The results may open up new leadership opportunities in both houses.
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the minority whip in the U.S. House of Representatives, is poised to become majority leader should Republicans retake the House, as is anticipated.
If Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) loses a hotly contested battle to conservative Tea Party-backed Republican Sharron Angle, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is likely to run for party leader in the Senate, where Democrats are expected to maintain their majority.

You point to five “Jewish Dems” in a battle for reelection. Let’s see how “Jewish” some of them are: Grayson, Boxer and Feingold ALL are supported by CodePink, a notorious anti-Israel, anti-Semitic group that finacially supported the Gaza flotilla incidents, suggested the boycott of Ahava, an Israeli company, and is generally hostile to things Israel and Jewish. Have Grayson, Boxer and Feingold denounced CodePink for these and other such anti-Israel actions? NO!! I don’t know about you, but those are not the kind of fellow Jews that I want in office. They may be Jewish by birth but they are not Jewish by their actions. We are known by the company we keep.
