Which might more than make up for some loss among Low-Information White Women.


In a week, I think you'll see Florida in SERIOUS play for Obama.

3. McCain lost Florida when he picked "Jews For Jesus" Palin.

5. I've been saying since McLame picked her
he'll lose more voters than win them. Palin doesn't have as broad an appeal as they think. And now we see that the Jewish vote could swing Obama's way. Are there any other states besides Florida that it would make a difference?

6. yes, Koch has gone with Obama................when asked why , he said
"Palin scares me."

This will play very well with older Jewish voters in FLORIDA!


I think McCain and Obama are more or less tied in FL now.................so if we add to this, the "Clinton Factor", I have to agree with you that FL is very much in play.

7. Yes. Koch can definitely help Obama in Florida...
My Jewish inlaws winter in Florida, but many of their friends and extended family live there full time. These are all elderly Jewish voters who pay very close attention to the news. Most are ex-New Yorkers who loved Ed Koch. We need him to get down there and campaign for Obama.

8. Welcome back
I'm glad Koch has come back to his senses. I'm truly sorry for the things I thought of Koch when he was busy endorsing Chimpy for President against Kerry. :crazy:

BTW, where is the button to start a thread here? For some reason I can't find it. I have a topic I'd like to discuss.

9. Palin's church is very anti Israel then they believe the end of times too. At least Obama showed ->
reverance in his visit to israel.

12. "low information" white women?
Wrong demographic, dear. I'd call it a taste gap, and misplaced identification with a fellow senior citizen.

15. That poll is starting to be looked at as suspect
and could very well be an outlier
