The RLS Secret Source (not to be confused with secret sauce – that’s what I use on my grilled Porterhouse) now reports yet another heavily Jewish Southern California neighborhood with a serious bump up for Bush – tony Encino. Encino 2000 – Bush 26%… Encino 2004 – Bush 37.8%
I think we can say at this point, at least in SoCal, and I’d bet elsewhere to a greater or lesser extent, there was a sea change among Jewish voters. Of course nothing compares with the knowledge that ding, dong, the Wicked Witch is Dead!

1. Charlie (Colorado):Frank Martin (no relation as far as I know) speaks well on this and Star Trek fandom.
Honest.
Nov 11, 2004 - 8:56 am 2. Attila:And how many of these Jews will admit that they voted for Bush, even after the election?

You know that Encino is home to many orthodox Jews who went for Bush in big numbers (evidenced by tons of Bush signs in Orthodox neighborhoods and fund raisers for GW, ect). As a Jew myself, I don’t think the political views of the Orthodox, who intentionally remove themselves from whatever society they are a part of, should be a strong indicator of a “sea change” Jewish vote for Bush. I do believe Bush fired them up more than any candidate in years because he was seen as good for Israel (which I totally disagree, but that’s another post) and organized religion (faith-based money). Anyway, I wouldn’t declare a sea change in the Jewish vote just yet, based on sketchy Encino and Beverly Hills polling numbers. And I think any Orthodox would proudly tell an exit poller he voted for Bush.

Are you sure about this? From what I hear from Democrats in denial Bush stole yet another election and none of this is true.
Never mind all the lifelong Dems like you and me God knows who else who voted for Bush, it is all a lie.
Pitiful.
I would say if the left keeps it up even more people, including Jews will jump ship.
Nov 11, 2004 - 12:21 pm 5. Charlie (Colorado):I understand that Michael Moore plans another anti-Bush film.
Can anyone think of a way for the RNC to fund it without word getting out?
Nov 11, 2004 - 2:03 pm 6. Terrye:Yes, it seems Moore thinks we need to be educated and he is just the gas bag to get that job done. Jeff Jarvis thinks Moore costs Kerry the election, I do not agree but every bit helps.
I wonder how Jeff is responding to the news that a sequel about Bush perfidy is to be released?
I guess that Osama [if he is still around] could use some new talking points.
I heard that a lot of the people Moore put in his film showed up in Farenhype 911 and they said he misrepresented them. Richard Clarke said he was not truthful. The 9/11 Commission Report refutes his claims. The Clinton administration refutes his claims. Even Newsweek ran an articles that eviscerated the claims about pipelines and Carlyle. poor Michael, all by himself.
I wonder who will be stupid enough to talk to him for his next film? The BBC? I hear they did an interview in which the “Iraqi” they spoke to said the US had destroyed the hospital in Fallujah and killed all the medical staff. Sounds like Moore’s kind of source to me.
Nov 11, 2004 - 2:29 pm 7. BigFire:Sadly, here in the western end of San Fernando Valley, we still have the same Democrat Congressman Henry Waxman after a quarter of a century. Waxman is sort of the windmill/dragon for me. Every two years I voted against him, every two years he kick my ass.
