A breakdown as percentage of total population in the 9 states currently considered \u201cin play\u201d \u2014 Colorado (1.8%), Florida (3.4%), Iowa (0.2%), North Carolina (0.3%), New Hampshire (0.8%), Nevada (2.8%), Ohio (1.3%), Virginia (1.2%), and Wisconsin (0.5%) \u2014 is even more revealing of their miniscule impact on vote tallies. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Consider the much-discussed Jewish vote in the State of Florida, where the Republican ticket has been&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/09\/27\/us\/politics\/republicans-go-after-jewish-vote.html?pagewanted=all&amp;_r=2&amp;\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/09\/27\/us\/politics\/republicans-go-after-jewish-vote.html?pagewanted=all&amp;_r=2&amp;\">gaining<\/a>&nbsp;margins in recent weeks amongst our grandparents. Yet even if every single Jewish Floridian cast a ballot for Mitt Romney (approximately 646,000 individuals), &nbsp;their vote would but small fry amongst the state\u2019s total&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/quickfacts.census.gov\/qfd\/states\/12000.html\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/quickfacts.census.gov\/qfd\/states\/12000.html\">population<\/a>&nbsp;of about 19 million. Further, Florida\u2019s demographics are 16.5% African-American and 22.9% Hispanic, racial groups that overwhelming went to the polls for Barack Obama in 2008 \u2014 even if a very conservative 50% of these minorities vote for the President again (approximately 3,743,000 ballots) each \u201cJewish vote\u201d would be outnumbered almost 6 to 1.&nbsp; (NB: these statistics further assume that members of all groups actually show up at the polls and are of age and eligibility to participate.) For states where the Jewish population is practically negligible, the impact would be further diminished.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Apart from statistical calculations, the narrative of the electoral contest also demonstrates the insignificance of the Jewish-American vote.&nbsp; With both parties mouthing a mantra of jobs and the economy, both Romney and Obama must appeal to suffering Americans \u2014 especially white middle class women in swing states that will be the likely deciders in 2012 \u2014 rather than expend their energies courting Jewish voters.&nbsp; Moreover, despite devoting some attention to the Iranian nuclear crisis, both candidates have shied away from a definitive pronouncement that may appease some Jewish voters but would likely be a liability amongst more important constituencies.&nbsp; Further, while there is a perception that \u201cJewish\u201d fund-raising and organizational support run both parties, these assumptions seem to smack more of international Jewish conspiracy theories that actual donor reports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lastly, while John McCain-like&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/articles.cnn.com\/2007-10-01\/politics\/mccain.christian.nation_1_john-mccain-christian-nation-christian-nation?_s=PM:POLITICS\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/articles.cnn.com\/2007-10-01\/politics\/mccain.christian.nation_1_john-mccain-christian-nation-christian-nation?_s=PM:POLITICS\">pronouncement<\/a>s that \u201cthis nation was founded on Christian principles\u2026and that the constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation,\u201d have been more muted in this contest, electoral politics, by and large, are largely unconcerned with the needs and interests of the Jewish minority in its midst.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I am a
