Rita Hauser is a lifelong Republican. But early last week the founder of Republicans for Obama urged about 100 Jewish women meeting at a home in Boca Raton to vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate. "My party has lost its way," Hauser said at the home of Obama supporter Lisa Rosenfeld. Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, whom she knows, has embraced the extreme element of the Republican Party, Hauser said. McCain is not calm and collected, Hauser said. "More important to me, John is erratic. The John of today is not the John of 2000," she said.
