OK. This is just another example. What’s wrong with calling them women – why are they “brides?” Is it another of your requirements that the woman of your dreams must already be married to someone else? And I just can’t resist pointing out that admiring brides is prohibited under the 10 Commandments, which could explain the anti-Christian thing.[/quote]

We were talking marriage so that’s why I called them brides. Obviously they are not brides anymore since they got married a long time ago. By admire I meant respect, not covet or lust.

[quote=AN] I’d say, you’re light on facts and heavy on opinions. You tried to paint the picture than poor people vote republicans and rich people vote democrats.
[/quote]

I said no such thing.

I said that it makes sense for the rich to vote Republican and for poor people to vote Democratic. I think statistically that’s what we should see.

But accross the country, that’s not what we see. In fact, Republican presidents are elected thanks to some of the poorest voters in America, from the Red States.

Here are some data to disput your claim. San Diego political map:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_County,_California
Go to the politics section. Although San Diego turned blue in 2008, the districts w/ higher median household income and per capita income voted Republicans while the Districts with lower income voted Democrats.
[/quote]

True. Makes perfect sense. California voters seem more economically rational than Red State voters.

[quote=AN]
According to the Orange County Registrar of Voters, as of July 21, 2009, Orange County had 1,599,889 registered voters. Of these, 43.6% (698,140) are registered Republicans, and 32.1% (512,853) are registered Democrats. An additional 20.2% (324,669) declined to state a political party.[/quote]

True, there are more registed Republicans in Orange County.

As I said before, County is trending Democratic; and if Vietnamese-American voters voted more like their Asian-American counterparts, Orange County would likely go for Obama.

The Vietnamese-American vote is the only Asian-American vote that leans Republican, despite socio-economics. Older, more recently arrived, less established Vietnamese immigrants who tend to rely more on the safety net, tend to vote Republican. You have to question their voting logic.

It looks like Orange County will continue to trend Democratic.

Loretta Sanchez’s seat appears safe under new map
The state’s redistricting commission has redrawn the boundaries of the Democrat’s district, putting many Republican-leaning Vietnamese Americans in another section. Some in the Vietnamese community complain that their vote is being diluted. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-sanchez-redistricting-20110801,0,3355094.story

It’s interesting that’s there’s an emergence of Vietnamese-American Democrats.

As the Republicans slowly lose Vietnamese-Americans, they will lose Orange County.

Democrat supporters like the lawyer Phu Do (co-owner of STBN TV and one of the most successful lawyers in Little Saigon) are doing their best to get out the votes against Allan Mansoor who is supported strongly by Van Tran.

The Vietnamese-American Democrats are mostly young and well educated. They are in their 20s and the 30s and like Phu, they really believe in making a difference in issues that are relevant to the welfare of the daily folks like education, jobs and healthcare.
