The video probably would have been better if it were shorter. I also might have shown a picture of the Kotel when talking about the things that the left wants Israel to give up.

My mistake, after all nobody love der Jew better than Hillary.
In 2000 the electoral shift, on the part of New York's Jewish swing vote, was even more dramatic. Not only did the traditional 30 percent swing vote side against Democrat Hillary Clinton, but even the uncontested 60 percent "base" of the Democrats was eroded, bringing Clinton's Jewish support down to between 53 and 56 percent.

In 2000, Hillary Clinton won her Senate seat even as her opponent, moderate Republican Rep. Rick Lazio, captured 45 percent of the Jewish vote, according to exit polls. "The Republicans are so underwater in New York in presidential politics, even a modest realignment won't affect the balance," says Grossman. Forman thinks the Jews could play an important swing role in New York--but only if the Democratic candidate is already in trouble. "New York state has a lot of Jews who could be very important in a close race," he says. "But if it comes close to a Republican win in New York, then you've got a Republican blowout nationwide."

Election 2000: Russian Jews as Voters in New York City
Introduction An estimated 300,000 Russian Jews currently reside in New York City, with another 100,000 living elsewhere in the New York metropolitan area. Of the total, one-third are thought to be United States citizens. The community of Russian Jews in New York City is large and diverse, but until recently it has received little scholarly attention.... Against the background of the 2000 election campaign, the American Jewish Committee asked RINA to return to the field in order to poll a sample of Russian Jews -- all of them United States citizens &endash; about their political opinions. The survey was conducted between September 1-29, 2000; a total of 516 respondents were interviewed over the phone, in the Russian language, by specially trained personnel. The respondents were drawn from RINA's research panel, consisting of 1500 individuals who are representative of the entire Russian Jewish immigrant community in New York City. The survey findings can be broken down by sex, age, education, income, and religious affiliation. The margin of error for the sample as a whole is plus or minus 5 percentage points. Key Findings Among the key findings of the survey are the following: 1. Eighty-nine percent of the respondents either plan to participate in the November 2000 elections (81 percent) or are leaning toward participating (8 percent). 2. Of the respondents, 75 percent are registered to vote, while 25 percent are not. 3. Asked "In politics, as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent?" 56 percent of the respondents indicate Democrat, 22 percent Independent, and 11 percent Republican; 11 percent of the respondents are "not sure." 4. In answer to the question "If elections were held today, whom would you vote for as President of the United States?" 77 percent of the respondents select Al Gore, 9 percent George W. Bush, 1 percent "other," 4 percent "no one," while 9 percent are "not sure." 5. Asked "If Senate elections were held today, which candidate would you vote for?" 38 percent of the respondents choose Hillary Clinton, 21 percent Rick Lazio, 4 percent "other," 8 percent "no one," while 29 percent are "not sure."
