” Yet he lost the American Jewish vote in a landslide. Go figure.”
A question often pondered here, with no resolution, especially considering American ex-pats in Israel vote in the exact opposite pattern (80% plus for Republicans).
My personal theory is the simplest: Jewish Americans are products of their political environment -—— most are urban and located in liberal areas. So they vote like their neighbors.
Fortunately, my tribe is small and scattered and really politically insignificant in all but the tightest of racists in certain swing states. We could have all voted for McCain and Romney and Obama would have still won.
racists = races Ha.
