That is great. I am just a pessimist I guess. Or maybe I'm reading too much stuff from the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC).
You live in a nice part of the country. You have alligators where you live, I don't. You may have those elusive panthers (I've looked for their *rap once or twice). And you have those FDR voters who have lived though a lot and WON'T change.
But more important, in the context of our political (not lifestyle or geographic) discussion of Jewish voting patterns, you are in the deep backwaters, late FDR, not the leading edge. Pertaining to the voting patterns of younger Jews, you've acknowledged the change. I see it right now. For you, it may take years if you are only looking in your locale. Then again, you, not I can change that.
RJC POLL SHOWS JEWISH SUPPORT FOR BUSH
President Bush's handling of the War on Terrorism is earning him respect and praise all over the free world. The American Jewish community is responding to the President's actions, and his unwavering friendship for Israel, in very positive ways.
In a poll commissioned by the RJC, Jewish voters overwhelmingly approve of President Bush and the top leaders of his administration.
Nope. You read books and learned stuff.
You can never read too much, IMO you may have a tendancy to generalize what you read. And I'm not sure what you think that source represendt. I could give you better stuff to read, but that's not the point. If you are politically active, get out there and work. You're in an odd area demographically. If you have to skip the 90+ FDRers during business hours, fine, lobby their children, or grand children or great grandchildren. If you're not willing to do that, don't complain. And if you won't do anything, at least vote. Gov Reno, I won't be visiting your state.
