Got Jew? Hillary and Barack Sign Up Jewish Lawmakers

Clinton announced the endorsement of Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California yesterday. Meanwhile, Obama announced that Rep. Paul Hodes, a freshman lawmaker from New Hampshire, will serve as a national co-chair of his campaign, while veteran New Jersey Rep. Steve Rothman will serve as Northeast Regional Co-chair.
