Suburban homeowners are a key constituency in America. It’s too bad that certain McCain supporters seem to think that Chinese-American, Vietnamese-American, Korean-American, Hmong-American, and Sudanese-American homeowners who live in the suburbs aren’t worth talking to because their votes are just not wanted.

Any political campaign this year that regards white voters as the only people worth talking to is doomed to lose the election. Senator McCain has potential voter strongholds within many immigrant communities if his campaign actually seeks their votes instead of just assuming they will all vote for Obama. Hmong voters in Iowa, Sudanese voters in Minnesota, and Vietnamese voters in Louisiana may not seem to be important to certain pundits, but they do matter and they will vote if they see a good reason to do so.

As a rule, Sudanese-Americans (from southern Sudan) are hard working, frugal, pro-American, Christian, and conservative. They have a deep antipathy toward liberals who are trying to impose gay marriage onto their church. In terms of values, Sudanese-Americans would seem to be a natural constituency for Senator McCain. And yet, one cannot logically expect Sudanese-Americans to vote for any political candidate who relies upon anti-black hatred as the basis of his campaign.

In this election, every vote matters. When Senator Obama alienates entire groups of Americans because of his racist remarks and associations, let him reap what he sows. Let’s hope John McCain doesn’t repeat Barack Obama’s blunders.
