Jewish Vote 2010

I have a piece in today's Politico about the 2010 Jewish vote, and how Jews may not be as monolithically liberal in state and local races as they tend to be in national elections. While no Republican presidential candidate has earned more than 25% of the Jewish vote since Reagan, Chris Christie received 38% of the Jewish vote in New Jersey in 2009, and a number of races this year could be affected by similar shifts in the Jewish vote. I am thinking, in particular, of the Senate races in Pennsylvania and Florida.

Re: Jewish Vote 2010
Was it Podohoretz who said that only in politics the jewish people abandon their notorious intelligence (or something to that effect)?
In any case their are terribly few Jewish voters (maybe 2%). It would be nice if they voted for the party that clearly prefers Israel to her enemies, but what are you gonna do?
Re: Jewish Vote 2010
Enough with Pennsylvania and Florida. What about California? In the Senate race, it strikes me, nobody could fail to recognize that Republican Carly Fiorina would be a lot stouter in supporting the defenses of the United States and our friendship with Israel, and that ought--ought--to cut some ice with Jewish voters.
Or so this gentile supposes.
What do you suppose, Tevi?

Why did Christie receive such a high proportion of the Jewish vote in NJ?
