Considering that Hillary did worse among Jews than she did among either Protestants or Catholics...your crack about 'Temple Beth Hillary' is more than a bit unwarranted. I also don't think you see much 'aloofness' from Jews on this website...I'm confident the switch will manifest itself in the close races in states where there are a significant number of Jews, like the California Governor's race.

You could have added a few more ethnic groups in the Hillary column. The problem, of course, is there aren't many Jews. California, less that 3% of the electorate. We certainly want those votes, but relative to the bandwidth it gets on FR, the importance is overstated.

The Jewish vote is more than their mere numbers. Unlike many other "minority groups", Jews are well integrated, and they have many non-Jewish yet liberal friends and family. If they switch alliegances, they may take some of those with them
