Facing a stagnant economy and Republican attacks on his Middle East policy, President Obama appears to be losing some support among Jewish voters in the critical swing state of Florida, according to Jewish political activists and demographers.
Most estimates range from 3 percent to low double digits, but any slippage for Obama will be magnified by the traditionally outsized turnout of this core Democratic constituency. Jews constitute only 3 percent of the state’s population but cast their ballots in such large numbers that they can account for 7 or 8 percent of the total vote.

If Obama loses Florida, it won't be because some Jewish voters fell victim to yet another GOP misinformation campaign (although I see very little statistical evidence in the article to back its thesis), it will be because Governor Scott succeeded in his campaign to knock hundreds of thousands of legitimate Florida voters (overhwelmingly in Democratic areas, naturally) off the roles.
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper: "Go to sleep, everything is alright" I close my eyes Then I drift away Into the magic night I softly sway Oh smile and pray Like dreamers do Then I fall asleep To dream my dreams of you
