“The people here, liberal people, will not vote for Obama because of his attitude towards Israel,”states Shirley Weitz (83) and Ruth Grossman Ms. Weitz, (80)."
This was quoted from a recent New York Times article.
Yesterday Obama visited a synagogue in Boca Raton, Florida. This is a crucial vote for him. Floria has long been known to upset the nomination of many and a candidate. Jews are important to his general election hopes, particularly in New York, which he expects to win; in California and New Jersey, which he must keep out of Republican hands; and, most crucially,in Florida, where Jews make up around 5 percent of voters.
Jews, of course, are just one of the many groups that Obama must persuade. Latinos, women, working-class whites and independents are vital as well.
