He isn't a politician, but many are hoping the father of a slain Muslim-American war hero will become one after his powerful Democratic National Convention speech.
Leading the effort to get Khizr Khan to consider a run for elected office is Vietnam veteran and Democratic activist Tom Keefe, who launched a fundraiser on Wednesday called "Yes We Khan." The campaign, which aims to get Khan in the Virginia House of Delegates, raised more than $11,000 in just 24 hours.
Keefe, who also attended the DNC and was on stage with other veterans during Gen. John Allen's speech, told NBC News he met Khan at the convention and was struck by the emotional force of his speech. Speaking with his wife Ghazala by his side, Khan lambasted Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.

Isn’t it bad enough that London has a Muslim mayor named Khan?
Not surprised, bet that gaining political position has been Khan’s goal for some time.
The man is going to ride his son's dead body all the way to high political office. I could hardly think of a more appropriate choice of a keynote speaker on behalf of Hillary.
Importing voters has almost ruined the Commonwealth.
I’m going to be forced to flee soon.
Just wait until he's the British PM, and it's only a matter of when.
He’s an attention whore...he’ll do it.
This could happen. With a country full of Obama Voters and Hillary Hags, plus with the media amplifying every PC vignette imaginable, yes, this could happen. If conservatives get organized and fight back with the truth, this could be prevented, but it will take repeated efforts, repeated learning moments before the Low-Info voter catches on and understands.
Please, please, please! That way I can personally ask him about the sex slaves.
Campaign slogan?
Virginia is for Sharia?
Hillary victory means we’re likely out of here. We are not subject to exit taxes (don’t pay 155K taxes per year), and don’t have 650k in RE equity. Checking healthcare, cost of living, and political climate in several countries right now.
This really is the most important election in my life. Family ties and/or minimal investment fortunately give us options.
Trump victory solves all of this stress, as can live with his foibles, and basically the country remains on a firm foundation.
Thinking the same thing. It is evolving into Maryland.
So is Virginia a liberal state now too?
Each time I think 1/2 of America couldn’t get any more stupid .... they surprise me with new lows in stupidity.
When some sort of WMD (chem, bio or worse) attack occurs on American soil, a bunch of Dems are going to running around screaming “HOW could this have happened!!??”.
Grab a mirror, idiots.
Rats!
Virginia was going to be my retirement state and I was hoping my Conservative voting would help her. Are you saying Virginia is being swamped by liberals?
I left years ago (12 now to be exact), after seeing the handwriting on the wall.
You guys are depressing me. I was looking to retire in Virginia Beach. How bad is it?
good. Let all the facts about him come out in an election. He’ll be ####ed.
Chinless muslim ####.
He’s SO FULL of hate that it ill burst out of his mouth sooner or later.
The DC Suburbs, Richmond, Norfolk and Portsmouth are. Oh, I forgot Charlottesville.
