Back in January, probably the most liberal Jewish Dem in recent history, Ed Koch (former NYC Mayor) said he was going to vote for Bush!! (He is still pretty influential in the Jewish community.)

Here's a link to the op-ed piece he wrote:

Bush will never win the majority of the Jewish vote, but he is certainly improving the 2000 showing by all accounts. And, the big bucks contributions will add to the GOP war chast and deprive the DemoRats of the same big money.

"Democrats also hammered on the need for Saudi Arabia to clamp down on fundamentalist Islamic charities that fund terrorist organizations, on the need for tougher sanctions against Syria, and the need to halt Iranian efforts to develop a nuclear weapon."

Subject of course to a permission slip from France and unanimous consent of the UN General Assembly.
