#1 I've been hitting the Jewish World Review site regularly for the last year or so, and it is practically an extension of Fox News and World Net Daily. I don't know how reflective this site is of the Jewish attitudes in general, but it screams Republican! I hope the American Jews are, like American blacks, increasingly viewing the Democrats as taking their votes for granted.

#2 Yes I think W has a lot of supporters in the Orthodox Jewish community and among non Orthodox Jews whose main focus is Israel.

However, remember that these two groups combined are only about 10-25% of the Jewish pop in the US.

Among reform Jews, Kerry is the overwhelming choice. Among secular unaffiliated Jews, Kerry is almost as overwhelming a choice. Among wealthy Jewishish donors to presidential campaigns and 527s (like, oh- say George Soros and Haim Sabin), Kerry is the overwhelming favorite.

#4 mhw, I think the percentage of Jews who vote Republican will increase by orders of magnitude. Jews see sKerry pandering to the mooslims, offering Jimmah as a mediator, talking down the fence, saying the EU and UN need to be more involved, etc. It could be huge in places like Florida.

#5 Forget it. More Arabs (40-60) will vote for Bush than Jews (20-80) yet again. The politics just don't mix. The guys looking for a Jewish conspiracy in the Republican Party are looking in the wrong place - the Donks own the Jewish vote.

#7 Brett,
I also think the % of the Jewish vote that goes Republican will increase.

However, two orders of magnitude???
That would be an increase from 20% to 2000%. Even in Chicago you couldn't vote 20 times.

#8 Dar, I think that the content of JWR strictly reflectes the veiwpoint of the Jewish conservatives, a minority of Americans who are Jewish.

I think Koch knows why Israel was not mentioned in Kerry's speech: Kerry knows that Muslim Americans will flock to him unless he makes a strong supportive statement for Israel.
