Are Jews in New York really that opposed to the deal, or is this more about the  influence of AIPAC, etc.?

I suppose the large majority of NY Jews are very liberal so the latter is the correct answer.

OTOH, we must remember that before becoming Democratic leader in 2004 Harry Reid was quite conservative but he quickly changed his positions in order to represent his caucus and  later to promote Obama's legislative agenda.

The key provisions of the deal are already public. Iran won't get any closer to an atom bomb for 10 years, frequent controls will take place, and if there's any reason to believe Iran isn't playing by the rules, sanctions can be reinstated with the snap of a finger. There is literally no downside for the US, unless you think Iran is inherently evil and should be crippled economically regardless of the nuclear issue.

Antonio, you don't understand. Republicans just know in their gut that this deal is bad because it is signed by Obama.
Haven't you heard the concept of truthiness?
