Barack Obama received more than three-quarters of the Jewish vote, according to exit polling.
A preliminary exit poll found Obama receiving 77 percent of the Jewish vote, to just 22 percent for Republican John McCain. That’s more than the 74 percent Democrat John Kerry garnered in 2004, and close to Al Gore’s 79 percent of the Jewish vote eight years ago—when Gore had the first Jewish vice presidential nominee of a major party joining him on the ticket. The Jewish vote was 2 percent of the poll sample.
The 77 percent figure is a significant rise from the 60 percent range that Obama was hovering around in polls of Jewish voters over the summer.

Proves American Jews will blindly vote their liberalism ahead of their Jewishness. American Jews living in Israel went big for McCain.

They are on the front line. They can’t afford the luxury of voting for someone like that.

When the nuclear warhead explodes over a Jewish city, will it be over Israel, or New York?

I don’t think most Jews in America give a hoot about Israel.

Absolute morons.

“So once again...........they’re idiots; voting for someone who embraces those who crave their elimination from the face of the earth.”
Most American Jews I know are agnostics/atheists. Their real religion is socialism, gay rights, abortion, and sticking it to devout Christians. Given that outlook, their voting patterns make sense.
The only upside is that the fraction of Jews who are Orthodox will rise over time, since Orthodox Jews are having the children.

Something along the lines of “When they came for the Israelies, I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t an Israeli?”
Seems very familiar. . .

Maybe, now that Bambi is across the finish line, the LA Times will release that Khalidi tape.
If they do, won't the joke be on the 77%!

The New England Jews and Western Coast Jews and the younger ones do not indentify with Isarel at all. Only a few Florida do. This is what these results are showing me
