That's 255 electoral votes among the 16 states with the largest Italian-American populations. Of those states, John Kerry won 13 (all but Nevada, Florida and Ohio) in the 2004 presidential election, giving him 203 electoral votes out of the 270 he would have needed to win the election.
I think you've made a pretty strong case that Italian-Americans should have no say in who this country elects to the White House. :-P

So what’s your point? Ethnicity was not a factor in 2004. It will be if Rudy runs in 2008.
