In the recent past President Reagan in 1980 against Carter won the largest share of the Jewish vote — 40%.
What does this tell us? That when a leftist president makes it clear that he is hostile to Israel, a large percentage of normally leftist Jews will defect.
I would guess 20-30% additional votes might be weaned away from Obama if he continues to side with the Palestinians as he is doing now.
In the past this has had coat tails.
Good. That’s something to work toward.
I hope disaffection will translate to some congressional wins for us in ‘10.
Something’s gotta give. We can’t go on like this.
