Hmm.  Hassidic Jewish enclave?  Monroe County, NY?  Somewhere in NYC?  Am I on the right track?
The right track, but not the places you mentioned.

I have a friend in Baltimore who was surprised to find herself in an 85% McCain neighborhood of Orthodox Jews. Was this it?

It is indeed Hasidic Jews, but the place is the town of Ramapo, New York, which includes monsey and new square.

So, does that mean one rebbe said McCain and another one said Obama?

And golders green, but there's more variation there, although traditionally they've supported the Conservatives, like the wider Jewish community. However, recently more ultra-orthodox have been voting Labour. With the obvious exception of Ken Livingstone.

Yes, it's interesting in that there's actual anti-Semitism and widespread anti-Israel sentiment in the British left, while in the U.S., it's almost completely marginalized.
