Jewish Democratic leaders in Palm Beach County are worried.
They are increasingly concerned that Republicans and the Bush administration have done such a good job of marketing themselves to Jewish voters that the once-reliable bloc of Democratic votes could go in a big way toward the president's re-election.
With 22 days until Election Day, Democrats are scrambling to undo gains Republicans have made among Jews.
"It's a very big problem," said Sylvia Wolfe-Herman, a vice president of the United South County Democratic Club. "We no longer have the bloc vote."
The situation has attracted the attention of John Kerry's presidential campaign, which has deployed Charles Glick, from the Democrat's home state of Massachusetts, to serve as director of Jewish outreach for South Florida.
"The Republicans have made major inroads with respect to Jewish voters," he told Democrats at a Palm Beach County party meeting last week. "If they get 40 percent, it would be devastating. If they get 30 percent they could win the election. We need to keep them under 20 percent."
Sid Dinerstein predicted President Bush would take one-third of the Jewish vote in Palm Beach County. He's the chairman of the county Republican Party, and for year's he's been pushing Bush to Jewish voters.
He said the Democrats have reason to be concerned, and said it involves far more than his party's and the president's ability to market themselves.

btttttttttttttttt
You should be ashamed you ever had it and voted like so many brainless sheep.
This prospect has Democrats more terrified than the possibility of another terrorist attack.
Democrats would rather win the election than win the war.
Praise the LORD and may he open the eyes of the Jews.
Bank One Names Charles Glick Deputy General Counsel for Retail Banking
CHICAGO, April 12, 2001 -- Bank One Corporation announced today that Charles Glick, founder and former chairman of iVantage Bancorp, has joined the company as senior vice president and deputy general counsel. He will have legal responsibilities for retail banking.
We humbly apologize. Would you like a scapegoat?
This contradicts a dozen other articles that state the Jews are going for Kerry in a fairly solid block.
I'm confused... How does this pertain to this thread?
Contrary to what many deluded fools here think, secular Jews (and in South Florida, the population is elderly and VERY secular) put domestic liberal issues way ahead of Israel in terms of their voting priorities. That's the way it is.
The Jews will vote as they always do.
Better to focus on the more sensible segments of the Hispanic community ... not by pandering, but by reaching out.
Yeah, I'll believe we've truly made dramatic inroads when the results come in on Nov. 2nd.
The situation has attracted the attention of John Kerry's presidential campaign, which has deployed Charles Glick, from the Democrat's home state of Massachusetts, to serve as director of Jewish outreach for South Florida.
it was in the body of the thread......i guess you didnt read it
Charles Glick is also head of outreach for Kerry among Jews.
My take is that the Republicans and Bush haven't done anything in particular to sway Jewish voters their way. Instead it has been the Democrats or liberals in general who have done the most to sway Jewish voters to flee.
Big difference.
Meaningless. Jews are overewhelmingly voting for Kerry. Any other scenario is delusional.
Good luck to the Democrats. They've taken the Jewish vote for granted. I can't wait til November 3rd for them to figure out they lost Floriduh! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Today, Kerry will allege that Jews will be blocked from voting.
Actually, this says quite a lot about the Democrat mindset. They expect people to vote as blocs. No one is allowed to deviate from groupthink.
