About 80% of Jews would vote for Ahmadinejad if he were on the Democrat ticket.
So why waste ink?
(Conservative Jew, here, so don’t flame unknowingly)
I think the FR reaction is overwrought. Only 78% for Ogabe is actually a pretty good number for the GOP, given all the factors* that worked against McCain in 2008. An elderly acquaintance remembers when the Jewish vote used to be over 90% for the Democratic candidate, and this wasn’t during elections heavily tilted against the Republican. In the long long run, the Democratic party will lose its Jewish edge, because Orthodox Jews, who lean Republican, tend to have many more babies than liberal Jews, who tend not to have any. In the end, demography, not fancy talk, is destiny.
