::Often correlation is indicative of causation.  Can you cite any other voting pattern as high as 90% that is not based on religion or ethnicity?  Not your other examples of Hispanic and young white college student, that's for sure.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:53, 10 November 2008 (EST)

:::78% of Jewish people voted for Obama, and I doubt they want to convert to either Christianity or Islam.  70% of people who live in urban areas > 500,000 voted for him.  Just two examples.  [[User:BenHur|BenHur]] 16:07, 10 November 2008 (EST)

:::78% of Jewish people voted for Obama, and I doubt they want to convert to either Christianity or Islam.  70% of people who live in urban areas > 500,000 voted for him.  Just two examples, from the excellent [http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2008/11/09/weekinreview/20081109_CONNELLY_GRFK.html National Election Pool synopsis], [http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/national-exit-polls.html tables] and [http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/exit-polls.html data].  There's plenty of information there, so any trends should be visible.  But one does need to be careful about correlation and causation, clearly.  Famously, the population of penguins at the North Pole is supposed to correlate perfectly with the number of sitting MP's in the UK Labour Party.  [[User:BenHur|BenHur]] 16:07, 10 November 2008 (EST)
