Asian Americans feel they face a glass ceiling, and that's true in politics as well as in corporate life

That's BS. The average Asian makes more money. And Asian students do better on tests than white students.

The politicians ignore them because they know that Asians do not need welfare money. They know how to use their brains.

since when do asians get the right to vote!!!

[RightWhale]

Asians, especially second generation, integrate themselves completely and thoroughly into the general population. Totally self reliant and ought to be natural Conservatives.

President Bush came to Little Saigon here in Orange County in October, 2000 for a rally with the Vietnamese community. I shook his hand there. I'm sure he'll be back.

Asian American media outlets are accusing Democrats and Republicans of ignoring Asians in their efforts to attract minority voters...The issue is more about symbolism than ad revenues, several prominent Asian American journalists said.

In other words, it's about the money.

I'm a bald voter, and I feel ignored.

[NittanyLion]

Don't know about Asians, but substitute the word "conservatives" and you'd be dead-on accurate.

[Vinomori]

this is an AMERICAN election, or so I thought

[Bonaparte]

The only Asians who will complain about being "ignored" as a group are the identity Asians.

They are going to vote on the left anyway, so it makes no sense for Bush to pander to them.

IOW, it's Kerry's problem, just as the blacks in the NAACP are Kerry's. Bush rightly recognizes that it makes no sense to waste his time with people who will never vote for him anyway. Ever notice that Bush doesn't have campaign outreach for communists either? Kerry doesn't have to because he already has the CP/USA's endorsement, LOL!

[Mister Baredog]

Gee what about the Indonesians, they must feel ignored too.

I can't even imagine how left out the Aussies must feel.

[ServesURight]

We are all Americans (well, most of us are except for the Democrats and illegal aliens) there's no need for any candidate, especially Bush, to pander to any ethnic group. What's next? A press release from Polish-Americans complaining about being ignored?

Together those groups account for nearly 5 percent of the U.S. population, but less than 2 percent of registered voters.

Yeah, as though spending any more than 2% of election money is going to change enough minds in that 2% to make any real difference in any state that doesn't have a sizable Chinatown.
