I guess I'm naive, but I never knew the parties had formal meetings at their conventions about Jewish voters.

Well, maybe not naive, but...

Any, repeat, any identifiable subgroup, Jewish, gay, veterans, woodworkers, polo players who might represent extra votes if addressed as their group, will have some degree of “formal” attention in a serious campaign. That’s the ground game, GOTV (Get out the vote). In most elections, it’s going through the motions. But sometimes it wins elections. You can’t always predict. So you always do it. It’s good politics.

Get involved at a lower level in a campaign. Volunteer. Work the polls. You’ll never look at politics the same way again. You’ll meet interesting people, and some crazies. But you’ll see the political ground game. It’s the same for both parties. Of course, the better people hang out here.
