If this is true, why do I continue to read the a vast majority of Jews will vote Democrat?
THIS Jew will not. Nor will any of her immediate family.
Not even my UWS (upper west side) Columbia PhD ultra-liberal twin brother. (he voted for neither clinton and just to give you an idea of his political orientation, when he recently accosted Kerry in Cambridge MA, he was brushed off as much too liberal!) These days, he never votes dem. he will be voting for nader.
I think it's predominantly older, uneducated, unwired Jews who are intractable dems. the reasons for this are mainly reflex, fear, ignorance and/or stupidity, not necessarily in that order.
