In the first quarter, as a largely unknown Democratic challenger, Canova pulled in more than $500,000 in contributions, most of it from outside Florida. He expects to have $1 million by the next reporting deadline.
Canova believes Wasserman Schultz is out of step with constituents on economic and other issues, such as her support for President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. The head of the Democratic Club in Sunny Isles, Lew Thaler said when Canova spoke to his group recently, he told them he would have opposed it.
"Sunny Isles Beach is a very big Jewish community," Thaler says. "There are a substantial amount of Jewish people here. He satisfied them."

IMO, because progressives are deeper into issues of fairness and balanced treatment, I rather suspect they are not as a group as anti-Palestinian and anti-Iran or as pro Greater Israel as the NeoCons, whose policies substantially overlap with HRC.
Remember that the NeoCon creation narrative is that Irving Kristol was a liberal (an FDR Democrat!) until he was mugged by reality of international affairs.
