Jewish Congressmen and Senators, be they Republicans or Democrats, are almost all from so called Blue States. Note that MN and PA both went for Obama, and both went from Kerry in 2004. Spector`s switch and Coleman`s defeat reflects this trend. Blue State people are finally doing what Red State people have done for a long time: vote party line. That`s how L Chaffee lost his senate seat despite his 60% approval rating, in either 06 or 04. Basically, there are no Red State Jewish legislators at the federal level. Jews make up 13% of the Senate, but they make up around 25% of Blue State senators and 0% of Red State senators. But you Israelis LOVE the GOP. Yeah, that`s a long term strategy. Yeah.
