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!
Definitely. Since Asian immigration is lower than Hispanic immigration, the Asians hopefully assimilate better and view issues in the traditional manner as regular Americans -- without regard to race/ethnicity. Issues like taxes and defense should be more important to any American voter than special legislation for special skin colors.
"They understand the Asian American community is large but that it's also not monolithic," Honda[D] said. "It breaks down into so many ethnic groups and languages, and it is so complex that it takes a sophisticated effort to reach out to voters."
Unlike Hispanics, who all share the Spanish language (if they don't already share English with the rest of us), each Asian group speaks a completely different language.
There are many ethnic Asian Americans opposed to the communist governments in Asia, so they could be cultivated to vote against Kerry, but the effort would be better advanced within communities and social networks, not by spending a lot of money to produce advertisements in a dozen different languages for small audiences.
Of course, there are other recent Asian immigrants who come from and still love those communist countries. Maybe they'll support Kerry, if they vote yet? I just hope they learn to share our (Americans') best interests for the future.
