RecordSage says:

Apparently the Jewish vote will be very much an item, since about 10% of Superdelegates are Jewish this time around.

Perfect opportunity to blame the Jews for the outcome of the Dems nomination... regardless of how it turns out & eventually blame them for general election, in case they lose.
