    The bad news is it looks like AIPAC wasn’t spending all that much in this one.

    it pains me to say it; but that explains why she won where every one else failed.

    money can do anything i guess.

      Not really. It’s not like they ran out of cash. They probably assessed they were less likely to get results for their spending here. The silver lining is also that her opponent’s strategy was to focus on her support for Palestine and turn this into a referendum on Israel and Gaza, and this was the result. For Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, the attack strategy focused on pretty much everything but Israel. So, this shows that Israel really is losing popularity among Democrat voters.
