Either way, Bloomberg's passionate defense of Obama in front of a Jewish audience in Florida could help the Illinois senator in the state, which is home to many Jewish voters. He made the remarks while Obama was on a separate, two-day campaign swing through Florida, with stops in Jacksonville and Miami.

Dems will do anything to make sure they get their candidate in the Whitehouse.

This doesn't surprise me at all.

Bloomberg isn't an Democrat he is an independent.

Obama is in trouble with Jewish voters, especially those in Florida.

Oh really? Are you sure? Not sure you are into polls but at least it is something to support a statement like that.

Lincoln Mitchell: Barack Obama's Real Problem with the Jewish Vote - Politics on The Huffington Post
Now that the Democratic Primary is finally and definitively over, we will probably begin to hear even more about Barack Obama's relationship, even his problem, with Jewish voters. Barack does have a problem with Jewish voters--there aren't enough of them. Lost in all the noise about Obama's supposed problems winning Jewish support, is that the latest polls show him winning this group by a margin of almost 2-1. If this constitutes a problem, Obama should wish for such problems with Christian and other voters as well.

f the candidates were Obama and McCain, the polls show Obama would get 65 percent of the vote of Jewish registered voters to 28 percent for McCain. If the candidates were Clinton and McCain, Clinton would get 68 percent to 26 percent for McCain.

I am sure you will post polling data to support the position that Obama has a Jewish problem against McCain.

Democratic Hold on Jewish Vote Could Slip - WSJ.com

Does this help even if you read the whole article. It has the same whomping numbers for Obama but it does hold out future hope. Maybe if Israel attacks Iran that will help McCain?

Of course Bloomberg is for Obama, there was even rumor he was going to sponsor him as an independent if he did not become the dem nominee.

It is obvious why bloomberg would be for Obama.

Why do you think Bloomberg had to go to Boca Raton to try and build a better repoire and support for Obama with the Jewish voters there.
