But nationwide received 21% of the Jewish vote. Orthodox Jews tend to vote GOP in NYC, but elsewhere, all Jews pretty much vote Dem due to social issues and certain domestic issues.
no Orthodox jews have been voting Republican across the country (find me another ED in the country that voted for McCain at a 99% rate that was in NJ, Chicago the orthodox Jewish neighborhoods voted for McCain overall and so to in LA and Baltimore)

We are also rapidly becoming a bigger percentage of all jews and you can see in this article specifically referring to Baltimore (the problem is that Orthodox Jews live in left wing states so we have no power to change things electorally)

I'll retract my statement then. But really, outside of Orthodox Jews, we don't really vote GOP. If we did, then Republican candidates would get more than 20%~ of the vote, which they really have only sporadically since 1900 and never more than 45% and that was early in the 20th century.

Right wing politics mixed with Christian dominionism didn't work out so well for the Jews in the past. I doubt that very many will ever forget that.

This is the white supremacist that Russell Pearce, the AZ Senate president and GOP leader has a close personal friendship with. I bet they love them some Israel though, gotta make the world rapture ready. Most Jews are way too smart to be fooled by this crap, that is why they will always lean toward the Democratic party.

Here in Arizona the line between the GOP and the National Socialist Movement is blurred and having their Armed """Patriot Militia"" around makes it even better

Frigging Mall Ninjas. It appears the criteria for membership in this club is to be white and morbidly obese.

Older Russian Jews vote GOP, not ones my age. Sure, subsets of Jews will vote GOP, but the overwhelming majority do not vote GOP in national elections.

The major determining factor in predicting Jewish American voting patterns would appear to be religious faith. Secular Jews are usually liberal and vote Democratic. Devout Jews tend to be much more conservative and more likely to vote GOP.
