Unlike NY and CA, which will vote communist with or without the Jewish vote, Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties have the highest concentration of Jews outside NYC, and offset the other 64 Florida counties, the overwhelming majority which go Republican.
They Jewish vote is why Obama won here in 2008.
I wouldn’t want to lay the blame for Obama’s possible re-election with any one constituency or voting bloc or demorgraphic: Obama did not win 75%/25% last time, but he did win by a wider margin, than, say the election of 2000.
We all remember the strange and stomach-churning set of circumstances that got him elected four years ago: the way he was packaged and sold as The Global Healer, “post-racial”, etc. blah blah blah. The question really is, what degree of attrition will he “suffer” this time from large numbers of people who can’t and won’t muster that same uncritical idiot enthusiasm this time around?
Enormous numbers of people expected enormous changes from this Miracle Man, who turned out to be so narcissistic and delusional, and above-the-law, not to mention demonstrably un-American, and those are people who WON’T be fooled twice, though some of them still may try to save face under the pretext of giving him
“another chance”.Except for the bitter-enders, these voters could come from any and all sectors that voted for him last time, doesn’t matter whether they’re retired Jews or college students still looking for jobs they couldn’t find four years ago.
Reviewing the actual voting stats AFTER the election will be
very interesting, as to how the voting has changed in four years. They will reveal a lot.All the handwringing and speculation about who voted for either candidate, and how they might change now, AND all the polls leading up to election day don’t reveal much of anything.Obama just won’t get the votes in the same percentages, probably ACROSS THE BOARD, even from the “black voter” and the Jewish voter.
