Gotcha You re saying if it went Republican it did so against the net effects of the Jews What I m trying to tie in here is if enough Jews defected to make the difference e g if 80 of Jews going Dem became 60 because Bush W Bush etc had enough appeal I m claiming Jews can influence a race not only by going solidly Dem but also by deciding not to The article I cited states the amount of time candidates spend on Jews is precisely because they 20 of them are swayable That being the case narrow Republican victories could also be a result of Jewish response to a candidate This being the case 2000 Florida could be a result of Jewish voters if either 1 enough Jews were attracted to W Bush to throw the state 2 the state actually went Democratic by voter intents again this is possible but contentious or 3 Jews made the race close enough to require Supreme Court intervention which is itself a political outcome and has profoundly influenced the voting method there as well as affected ideas about W Bush If any one of these three is possible we can t discount the effect of the Jewish vote in Florida 2000
