"Italian-Americans aren't usually thought of as an electoral bloc," says Dr. Diane Heith, a political scientist as St. John's University. "They aren't even polled separately."
Perhaps that's because italian-american voters are sophisticated enough to vote on issues and not race?

In polls, instead of white or caucasian, I always list myself as other, and then describe as Italian-American. I can't stand the idea of Rudy for GOP candidate but at least his family kept the full Italian name.
