More Asians voted for Obama this time around than even last time around. Jennifer Rubin seems mystified why Asians would vote for Obama than a Republican, which really shows how tone deaf most republicans are. She seems to think income would make Asians more naturally republican, and the only thing holding back that vote is immigration, but i can think of others: The GOP's disdain for highly educated people (who they deride as 'elites', as if that's a bad thing), their hatred for science/logic/reason, also most Asians are centered in urban areas and i don't know too many young Asians who take too kindly to the GOP gay/women bashing and not-so-subtle racism.

Edit: Also, many successful Asian countries have an activist government in their economies and most Asians understand that an activist government can not only be compatible but also enhance a capitalist economy.

Right because Asians hate "women-bashing" more than women do (a majority of married women vote Republican).

Not to mention that Asia is well known for its support of same-sex marriage

The attitudes of assimilated Asian Americans and new FOB Asian immigrants who can't vote are probably different.

I'm betting "CHINA IS EVIL!" every five seconds isn't helping either. Right, Mr. Hoekstra?

You know, you're right nehalem256. Republicans are doing just the right things they need to. They are attracting Asians big time. The polls were skewed. So just stay the course Republicans. You're going to win the Asian vote in 2016

Oh god, thanks for reminding me, that was one of the most reprehensible ads i've ever seen.

Bill O'Reilly on Fox News said Obama won because too many people want free stuff.
