IIRC the Wikipedia article on Florida's demographics says that there is like an only 3% Jewish population in the entire state of Florida.  Outside of a few urban areas there isn't a lot of them (according to the research).  I don't get the whole "OMG Florida is Jew Heaven!" talk.
If the population of Florida is 18.8 million that means only 564,000 Jews in the state.
I wouldn't really call that enough to sway a Republican primary, much less an accurate depiction of Florida.

In fact, you would be better off calling Florida Paddy Land, according to the population figures.
Still a gross mischaracterization, but less so than what seems to be the stereotypical depiction of Florida I hear too often.

Zionists, not Jews. A lot of the most rabid Zionists are evangelical Christians.

Before I continue on with my response I was more addressing everybody in the thread.  Not just people who said that Paul would lose in Florida because of "Zionists".

Second, I understand that Zionists are in good number in Protestant denominations.  However, again I like to emphasize that there are 18.8 million people in the state of Florida.  According to the page........Evangelicals are the second largest denomination.....

Oh sh*t, you might be right.  Paul may be f***ed one in Pubbie Primary after all.
