...what I find most frustrating is why Obama apparently still has the majority of the Jewish vote.

Easy. They believe that no matter what party gets elected to the White House, Israel is going to be safe. So, since Israel is going to be protected no matter what, they feel comfortable in voting for the Democrat liberal as they always have since the beginning. The have never seen in their lifetimes Israel in sufficient danger to shake their liberalism to the ground. They do not believe Ahmadinjihad is any threat whatsoever. As for the "Palestinians" (no such people or ethnic group has ever existed) they are no more than cannon fodder and fuel for the anti-Israel rantings of the Middle Eastern Islamic thugocrats..............

Your observation is well taken and history would tend to support it. And of course if some American Jews are predisposed to take this view they are welcome to it but they do so at Israel’s grave peril. What makes this moment in time so much different than in the past is the spectre of a nuclear Iran. In the past Israel was the only possessor of nuclear weapons in the region and their implied threat to use them, along with the usually reliable (Jimmuh Carter nothwithstanding) support of the U.S. was enough to keep their enemies at bay. But once Iran actually demonstrates that they have a workable nuclear device all bets are off. And that will be almost assured if Obama gets elected. Given this real possibility I simply cannot fathom why more American Jews can’t see the real danger here. Once the bomb goes off it’s too late to change your vote.
