Well, to coin a phrase, “every vote counts”, and this particular demographic, “the Florida Jews”, need to be
doing something other than “staying home”. If they can’t be
roused from their traditional Democrat slumber and get motivated to vote against the way they voted four years ago,
are you saying they will just prove to be one more demographic
who could hand the win to Obama by default or are you saying the opposite?.A lot depends, in these waning weeks before the election, as to just how “persuasive” the narrative coming from the WH can be in convincing people that Obama is “a friend of the Jews” (meaning Israel), and the success of that implies that there has to be another current of thought put out there (maybe spoken only indirectly) that the Jews of Israel have different “interests” from American Jews. I wouldn’t put it past them to gin up this dichotomy,
set one off against another, and let the chips fall where they may.I think implicitly they have been doing this all along.
Maybe the “Florida Jewish vote” could then be offset by “the Mormon vote” !!
Unlike NY and CA, which will vote communist with or without the Jewish vote, Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties have the highest concentration of Jews outside NYC, and offset the other 64 Florida counties, the overwhelming majority which go Republican.
They Jewish vote is why Obama won here in 2008.
