The Jews and Joe Lieberman

My gloating friend, the Pinko Commie, posted this link to our shared Google Reader page today.

It talks about the fact that in a recent poll of 900 Jewish folks, Barack Obama was more poular than Joe Lieberman. This is clearly about Iraq and Joe's supposed defection (though really an ousting) from the Democratic party.

Now I love my peeps, but next to Blacks, Jews are the most monolithic block of voters out there. Two things:

1) Lieberman, though ousted from his party, still won in a landslide in a very moderate (though left leaning)state with a large Jewish presence

2) The fact that Obama only has 60 percent of Jews polling for him now is amazing. The last president to get only 60 percent or less of the Jewish vote (besides Jimmy Carter who got votes taken away by an Independent) was Adlai Stevenson in 1956. This, mind you, was against Dwight Eisenhower, liberator of Nazi Germany.

Anyway, the neo conservatives and the Hasids will change all that eventually. And if i have anything to do with it, so will I.
