Why would anyone think that being Jewish and Democrat would be an issue in The Villages?

Most people do not even talk politics in their everyday conversations. We are having too much fun with Pokeno, bowling, golf, and other clubs. Very nice temple here, too.

True, this is a conservative Republican area but who cares? If you do not like the happy newspaper (Daily Sun) which is totally Republican, subscribe to the Orlando Sentinel, and read the Washington Post online.

People are here having a great time with activities. Welcome!

HelenLCSW and Cappyjon - welcome! If you're interested in checking out the Democratic club, the following is a link that give the website, and info on meetings, etc. Glad to have you here!....http://thevillagesdemocrats.com/

Good news
 

Great to know we are growing, I worried about how we would be received in TV.
We love it here, but haven't been to any of your meetings yet.:wave:

Wouldn't say it was 50-50, Dems are still a minority here. This was in the post mentioned earlier that gave a breakdown for Sumter County:

The Villages (Sumter County) Voting Statistics January 2010:
Registered Voters: 36,651
Democrats: 10,226
Republicans: 19,354
Other: 7,071

We've only been here a couple of months, but it really hasn't bothered me like I thought it might. Everyone I've met has been very friendly and politics has yet to come up. If I didn't read the local rag I wouldn't even know how politically conservative TV actually is compared to my previous haunts.

When does the tea party meet??
