A stocky middle-aged man from Florida who looks like a slightly older version of Al Franken glances conspiratorially over his shoulder as he confides to me, "I think there are a lot of Jewish Democrats, including me, that support the president. ... He understands the difference between good and evil."

In a nutshell.

My favorite line was, "Bush is a man, Kerry is a liberal." Doesn't that belong on some bumperstickers?

It's not about tactical info, but it might be of some interest.

Orthodox and Chassidic Jews who I've been acquainted with were always politically conservative.

Did you hear Bush mention "Our good friends, Israel". You didn't hear one word about Israel in Kerry's Freakshow.

There are significantly more Mormons in America than Jews. Mormons are growing in number, Jews are diminishing due to intermarriage.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz has data suggesting that only 60 percent of Jews under 35 vote Democratic--to a reaction against campus anti-Israel and antiwar activism.

Not in 2008, maybe not 2012, possibly not even in 2016, however by 2020 the 'Jewish Vote" will be 75% Republican.

Not the Orthodox, their reproductive rate is second only to the Muslims with 6+ children per couple. By the end of the century Orthodox Jews will be the face of Jewry in the United States.

That's because those two groups are very insistent on no birthcontrol in the context of marriage. Society in general will not give up anything that will cut down on their fun, but religious people ought to rethink BC and consider 'be fruitful and multiply'.
