There were way more than 20 of us there, satisfying the requirement of the central limit theorem for statistical reliability.

I suspect the way the sample was selected may not have been random.

Interesting report, thanks.

And now from the Irish Catholic Veteran community on FR. There may be one mutant somewhere in my extended family but McCain will be getting about 100 votes from the extended clan.

I'm glad to hear some of our fellow Israel supporters are joining us. :-}

This is great news. It is long overdue that all those of the Jewish faith come on over to the party that has stood by Israel unwaveringly and will never allow a partition of Jerusalem.

Posted this comment on another thread about a conversation I had last night with a friend in South America. Hope you don't mind the double post but does run in sync with what your saying.

POST:

Friend of mine called last night from down in South America where he owns a large cattle ranch.
He has a vacation home in Montauk, New York and belongs to several different Jewish groups in that area.

When we discussed politic’s this staunch Democrat became livid that Palin had been disinvited.

He said that this year he and most of his mainly Democrat friends would be voting for McCain because he could not stomach the thought of of a radical inexperienced candidate like 0bama sitting as POTUS.

BTW: his wife has never voted for a Republican but this year she is supporting McCain Palin.

The poll's scare me but maybe many folks are like him and just doing the Bradley Affect.

re: Palestinians... there is only one solution, and I have been advocating that for many years: Buy them an Island. They have proven they are not good neighbors (nice way of putting it) and nobody wants them so lets put them somewhere nice and quiet and isolated where it will be harder for them to cause harm to the rest of the world. I think its a great idea.

Did anybody discuss the “uninviting” of Palin at the anti-Ahmadinejad rally in NYC?

A conservative is a liberal that’s been mugged.

I hope people go to the polls and vote for somebody though, since it appears Obama for America and ACORN are registering people without them knowing it and stealing their identity...ie, you may be on record voting for Obama even if you don’t go to the polls.

[proudpapa]

I have a few Jewish friends who usually vote democrat. (I could never understand this, but anyways..)

This year each and every one has either indicated that they are backing McCain.

As one friend explained, a Jew voting for B. Hussein Obama is about as smart as a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.

I will tell you something, here where i live, somewhere in Quebec, we have a strong Jewish community...and without a doubt, my relatives (mixture of Liberals and conservatives)if they were able to vote in the USA the trend would be towards McCain - This doesn't mean much, but maybe, just maybe some Jews might see the light (not the rabid Liberal ones) but the more moderates (if they exist)

But we could never understand why Jews vote the way they do...Just don't get it????

I wonder how many American Jews looking here on FR are undecided, would be curious....

[o2bfree]

Can you tell us whether everyone voted for Kerry and Gore in 2004, and 2000? That would be interesting to know.

[fso301]

I can only hope your observation has validity beyond your family gathering and into the community at large

[rabidralph]

Someone needs to post a report from Rockville, Md., to see where things are headed.

[rlmorel]

Pabiance, thanks for the encouraging anecdote. I too live in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, and I there are more McCain-Palin supporters up here than people might think. Not enough to move the state into the red column on November 4th, but...there are some.

If you see this bumpersticker on Rt. 128, give me a honk and a wave (with an open hand facing out, of course, so I can tell the difference from the other kind...:)

And by the way...thanks for your service!

[dalight]

I don't think the pseudo-statistical central theorem crack helps but in fact, the survey says.. perhaps you are right. I found this posted on the John Bachelor thread about the Iran Rally.. and this is before the horrible stink descended.

One other thing, what do you make of this New York Shock Poll: Jews Now Favor McCain in New York, 54-32...

Cool report and glad to hear the Jews are not clueless and seeing through Barry's facade.

[Melinda]

Is your family large enough to turn MA into a McCain win? Please check your closets!!

“Liberal reform Jew” = “Six-pointed unitarian”.
