1//IslamOnline.net, Qatar--UNITED U.S. MUSLIMS TO VOTE AGAINST BUSH RE-ELECTION (Leaders of the U.S. Muslim community intend to deliver a bloc vote in next year's presidential elections, one that will go against the candidate they endorsed last time - President George W. Bush. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the American Muslim Council, the American Muslim Alliance, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council agreed this weekend to cooperate on a voter registration drive that they hope will send one million Muslims to say "No" to Bush's 2004 re-election bid…The message is to reflect widespread "dissatisfaction" in the Muslim American community with the Bush administration's treatment of Arab and Muslim Americans since the September 11 attacks, Nihad Awad, CAIR Executive Director was quoted by Agence France-Presse (AFP) as saying.)

Thats a pretty big voting bloc to piss off...

I think I read that the US Muslim population is surpassing the US Jewish population, but I don't know if they turn out to vote in the same numbers Jews do.

I did find that 65,000 Muslims voted as a bloc for Bush in Florida in 2000. That will be a substantial blow.

I also found a link of the Jewish vote

It seems to be pretty solidly democratic since the New Deal. We Jews are just suckers for those social programs I gues....

Yeah, but only if those votes "count".
