Let us be honest, they don’t care about Jewish VOTES, they care about Jewish MONEY. And that seems to be fading away from Obama, at least enough that he is worried.
They may end up caring about Jewish votes on the day after the election if it turns out that a swing in the Jewish vote was sufficient to cause them to lose Florida, Pennsylvania, and/or Ohio and the White House as a result. Probably won't happen, but it's a slight probability.
And if it does happen, you can't say that they didn't deserve it, based on their policies and inane statements like the ones from Pelosi at the top of this thread. Certainly performances like Pelosi's won't help with either Jewish money or Jewish votes.
I think you’re right. I looked up some prominent NY Dems who are Jewish, and were big donors to Barry in 2008... not this time around; nothing for 2012.
They’re not giving to Romney, either, but only to local candidates. Barry definitely losing financial support, but will they still vote for him in November? No way of knowing.
