#2 How can any jewish american with his head on straight vote for Kerry? I recognize their fear and loathing of the Christian Right, but really, to the extent any jewish person is vitally concerned about the survival of Israel, how could they vote for the preferred candidate of the mullahs, ObL and Arafart?

This smells of 1972. I cannot see Bush getting less than 40% of the jewish vote. Which means he easily wins Florida and Pennsylvania. Game over.

#3 "to the extent any jewish person is vitally concerned about the survival of Israel"
I don't know how fundamental Israel is to Jews not living there. Maybe somebody can enlighten me. But in Barbara Tuchman's Bible and Sword (a history of the Balfour Declaration), she points out that when Lord Shaftesbury urged the restoration of the Jews to their ancient lands he didn't have the support of most Jews: the wealthy were trying to blend in and the poor were trying to lie low. Returning to Israel wasn't high on their lists of chores for the day.
Presumably the hopes and worries are a little different today. But . . . do non-Jews not quite understand what the priority of Israel is
among the diaspora? I know attitudes form a spectrum, and polling can't quite be accurate: there's a difference between what you think you ought to believe/do and what you're willing to sacrifice for.
