Former Huck boosters host Perry kosher fundraiser

Rick Perry is making a two-day fundraising swing with four events in New York City next week, including one that's being billed as a kosher-food reception by three former prominent Jewish Mike Huckabee backers.

According to the invitation, among those involved in hosting the event is Dr. Joseph Frager and Dr. Paul Brody, both of whom helped arrange portions of at least one of Huckabee's many trips to Israel.


It's a $2,500-a-head reception at the San Carlos Hotel in Manhattan on Monday evening.

In the wake of NY-9, the Jewish vote - which nationally is a rather small slice of the electorate - is getting a bit of an inordinate amount of focus.

A question has been how much Perry will be able to appeal to religious Jews, who admire his stand on Israel but who, in some cases, are concerned about things like his massive prayer rally "The Response."
