I've never understood why Jewish and Blacks voted Democrat???
I mean, what did the 'Rat party ever do for the Jewish???
The GOP cut taxes and finally initiated a war against terrorism which Klintoon and his party didn't have the balls to do!!!
And if not for the GOP, the blacks would not have the freedoms they enjoy today! The 'Rat party certainly wasn't for black freedom and rights!!!
For the Jews, look at the post up above - Jews fear Christians more than they do Muslims here in America, and most could care less than gentiles about isreal.
As to the blacks, their "leaders" sold them out to the Democratic party long ago, and nothing Bush can do will change that. Republicans offer a hand up, their leaders promise hand-outs. The hand-out wins every time.
See my post #5 for the answer.
Actually just about everything on the social agendas of the Left has prominant Jewish lefties at the vanguard from the abortion movement to affirmative action to God out of the public arena to gun control and so forth.
In short, the Left has done quite a lot for leftist Jewish activists. They have gotten most everything they have wanted from the early 60s onwards.....the tide has slowed a bit now but not because they are losing but because their newer causes are so ridiculous.

BTW....I too believe the Jewish vote will be higher this year but still at least 2/3rds of Jews will vote for Kerry.
It really only matters in tight states with high Jewish populations...Florida and Jersey or Pennsylvania maybe.
This type of shift in the black or mexican vote would be more relevant.
I find it amazing how voting patterns are so intergenerational....even myself. I'm a Southern white male. We have been most likely to vote for the most socially and perhaps hawkish party since forever.
