On the other hand, I live outside of Miami and am watching carefully what is being written about and said in the Jewish press. Especially in Palm Beach and Broward areas.
Jews are turning on Obama and the Dems. The economy is a big part of it but what has sealed the cake is the admins treatment of Israel AND Iran’s nuclear plant.
A few well know Rabbi’s from large congregations have come out with strong anti-Obama/anti-Clinton. pro-Republican editorials.
The tide has turned and while 2% of the population can not sway an election, perception counts. As Jews start moving to the GOP in large numbers, it sends a very loud signal.
No one has yet mentioned the dismantling of the greatest healthcare system in the world. Lots of Jews are doctors, and of those who are not, many love to GO to doctors.
There's been enough talk of Obamacare that they're starting to figure out what's coming, and as soon as that realization hits..... And in FLORIDA? I shudder....
“The tide has turned and while 2% of the population can not sway an election...”
Your math is probably right, and I’m not going to ever argue math with anybody. But, I must point out that the Jewish population, while small, is very politically involved and is concentrated in NY, CA & FL, three big states.
Besides everything else, the Dems do not DESERVE the support of the Jews.
I hope history will remember Obama for 2 things, being the first black elected President and being the person who destroyed the Democratic Party.
Losing the Jews will be a good step in that direction.
My Jewish in laws are still more afraid of a Christian trying to Convert them than they are a Muslim trying to KILL them!! Go figure.
THE Jewish Press (the newspaper) is adamantly pro-Israel, anti-Obama. It’s an excellent newspaper that I wish would go online because it’s so filled with local stuff from NY that doesn’t apply here. They have great articles and opinion pieces.
