>> A broad group of almost no Orthodox Rabbis. <<

Orthodox are around 10% of Jews in the U.S. They don't represent the "Jewish vote" in America anymore than Maryland represents the "southern vote". Obama may win big in Maryland but he'll get crushed in the south as a whole. Orthodox Rabbis may dislike Obama but Jewish voters in general will still blindly support him.

‘Orthodox are around 10% of Jews in the U.S’

Might even be less than 10%

Just for fun, I looked this up-

“How Strong is Orthodox Judaism — Really?
The Demographics of Jewish Religious Identification”

http://jcpa.org/dje/articles2/demographics.htm

This fellow puts the number of ‘orthodox Jews in the U.S. at approx. 600,000. And worldwide at about 2.2 mil.

Side note: the birthrate of the Orthodox is more than double the non-orthodox.

And- most are affiliated with some synagogue. Affiliated Jews in the U.S. are put at about 4.5 million, which still only puts the orthodox at less than 12%.

Still, 600,000 Orthodox Jews in the U.S. is nothing to sneeze at, -and the Obamatrons have made a deliberate effort to ignore them.
