The former mayor of New York City, the Democrat Ed Koch, is advising Jewish voters to support President Bush in the poll on 2 November. However, Koch also wants them to stick with Democratic congressional candidates. Speaking to Jewish voters at a forum in Philadelphia on Monday, Koch said Jews should back the incumbent in the White House for his foreign policy, but vote for Democrats in Congress because they have more oversight on domestic issues. Koch said if half of the Jewish community does not support Bush, they will seem ungrateful for his administration's support for Israel and the US-led war on terror.
