Republicans see a growing chance to make inroads in 2012 with Jewish voters, whose traditional loyalty to the Democratic Party has been tested by doubts about President Barack Obama's policies on Israel.
Obama has been criticized by some U.S. Jewish leaders for being too tough on Israel. Those views were amplified when Republicans won a special House of Representatives election in a heavily Jewish district of New York this week, rattling Democrats.
Obama won nearly eight of every 10 Jewish voters in 2008, but a slip in 2012 would jeopardize his re-election drive in battleground states like Florida and Pennsylvania, where Jewish voters are an important swing bloc.

“But Obama might catch a break from Republicans in 2012 if the party nominates a staunch social and religious conservative candidate like Perry.”
And of course the Dems are trying to turn the Jewish voters against Perry. And of course the truth is that Rick Perry IS a friend of Israel.

Hmmm... an unabashed pro-life and pro-traditional marriage socially conservative Catholic like Bob Turner? No chance a guy like that can win over the Jewish vote, right? ;-)
Now they’re going to listen to Jackie Mason because Larry David & Larry Summers are idiots.
I guess the Arab Spring was a clue.
Wasted effort.
After Obama builds a Palestinian nation, funds it and arms it , he will still carry at least 60% of the US Jewish vote and funding.
The Mossad wasted all those years hunting enemies of Israel around the world when it should have gone to Synagogues here in the US.
I agree this is a waisted effort. Take a closer look at the internals from NY9’s exit polls. While religious Jews voted 91/9 for Turner the secular Jews voted 71/29 for Weprin. There are far far more secular Jews than religious Jews.
Essentially very little has changed.
You are both good conservatives, but you are showing your political naïveté.
