    This is not too surprising. Jewish voters are reliably Democratic. Obama may lose the Jewish vote in Florida, where they tend to be older and more concerned with Israel. But Obama will do fine with Jews in the rest of the country. Bloomberg would make a terrific running mate, but having a black guy and a Jewish guy on the same ticket may be too much change for America.

    Seems low to me. I didn’t click the link, but I wonder how that would change should Clinton drop out.

    However, I came to point to what I think is the most interesting news of the day.

    I heart John Glenn! (Although as President I would open up space by trying to encourage the Burt Rutans with X Prizes and as little regulation as practical….)

    Obama may lose the Jewish vote in Florida,

    That’s okay. They’ll end up voting for Huckabee by mistake anyway.

    Yes, but what percentage of those Jewish voters are black?
