Any bets he still gets 90%+ of the Jewish vote in the next election? Sadly, for way to many secular Jews, Republican = Hitler no matter who the Dems run or what they do after they get into office.
Actually, it was 78%.
That said, these people are freaking idiots. They’ll vote for him again, overwhelmingly.

I thought Jews were an educated people. Didn’t they ever learn why nazis are called “Nazis” (hint: it’s not because they’re capitalists).

You betcha! He’ll still get 75+%.
I don't know where you arrived at the 90+% number; it's high but not that high. The number bandied about for 2008 is 78% but that's probably about 10 points higher than the real number because of faulty polling technique.
Whatever his number in '08, Obama's showing in '12 with the Jewish community will be significantly lower for the reasons discussed in the posted article.
(The 90%+ number would be accurate for blacks, not Jews.)
I'm not so sure. I have some friends that are Jewish and about half of them that voted for 0 the first time say they will never support him again.
