FW: Palin's first race for mayor: Whispering campaign her opponent was Jewish

John C. Stein was Sarah Palin's opponent for Governor. He is not Jewish but of course has a Jewish name which could be a liability in race of that nature.

Stein:

"Sarah comes in with all this ideological stuff, and I was like, 'Whoa,'" said Stein, who lost the election. "But that got her elected: abortion, gun rights, term limits and the religious born-again thing. I'm not a church-going guy and that was another issue: 'We will have our first Christian mayor" (said Palin.)

"I thought: 'Holy cow, what's happening here? Does that mean she thinks I'm Jewish or Islamic?" recalled Stein, who was raised Lutheran.

The mayor of Wasilla before Sarah Palin, John C. Stein, was also a Republican, though the office was and continues to be non-partisan. Mayor Stein was defeated by Sarah Palin in a campaign that brought in the NRA, Republican partisans, and a whisper campaign that Mayor Stein was Jewish (he is a Christian, but is "proud of such a reputation"). He now runs the Sitka Sound Science Center, a marine research facility in Sitka, Alaska.
