As well as the following frightening picture, Martin Frost, a Jewish-Zionist House Rep from Texas will be competing against Nancy Pelosi for House Democratic Leader since Gebhardt will be giving up his post.
Lieberman has said he would not run with Gore again, he says, because of Gore's handling of the last presidential campaign, but we know it is because he himself wants to run for President.

NEXT CONGRESS WILL RETAIN ITS PRO-ISRAEL BENT, ACTIVISTS SAY

Pro-Israel activists say they are confident their
legislative priorities will be able to get through the new Congress, which is now under firm Republican control.
Several pro-Israel
activists retained their seats in Tuesday's election,and former Sen.
Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), a strong supporter of Israel,is returning
to Congress after a two-year absence.American Jewish leaders watched
the poll results closely Tuesday, butwithout much fear: Officials
were comfortable with the candidates fromboth major parties in most
Senate races, aside from New Hampshire."Everyone seems to be very
good nowadays," said Morris Amitay, treasurerof the pro-Israel
Washington PAC.Amitay noted that many of the candidates that the pro-
Israel communitytargeted for defeat were eliminated in primaries.
Indeed, incumbentReps. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.), Earl Hilliard (D-
Ala.) and Bob Barr(R-Ga.) all lost their re-election primaries earlier this year. Several other lawmakers of concern - such as Reps. David Bonior(D-Mich.) and Sonny Callahan (R-Ala.) - did not seek re-election.In New Hampshire, Republican Rep. John Sununu, who is of Palestinian andLebanese descent, defeated New Hampshire's Democratic governor, JeanneShaheen, in a Senate race.The National Jewish Democratic Council blasted Sununu for not supportingseveral
resolutions regarding Israel, including one criticizing theUnited Nations for passing anti-Israel resolutions and another seekinginformation on Israeli soldiers missing in Lebanon.
