Maryland Jews backed Hillary this week, but those in California backed Barack Obama. Jews in New York, New Jersey, Arizona, and Nevada, went for Clinton. Those in Connecticut and Massachusetts went for Obama. It seems that Jews in more conservative states are going for Clinton and those in deep blue states prefer Obama, with the exception of New York and New Jersey, which, according to this theory, should have seen their Jews break for Obama. But the fact that those states are in Clinton’s backyard might have made the difference. More theories on this from Haaretz blogger Schmuel Rosner.
