‘Asian and Pacific Islander community’ are ‘Secret Weapon’

 20080103-Iowa-Quarter

Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack is saying that the Democrats’ secret weapon in Iowa is the Asian and Pacific Islander community according to Politico.com.  According to the article, the support stems from the fact that Democrats have opened up more support for their communities in the past couple of decades.  Apparently, the groups are just large enough to sway the vote tallies.  The article, which expands on numerous other topics on the Iowa caucuses, is worth reading if you’re at all curious about the powers that be in Iowa.

This article was found by way of the Drudge Report, which produced this equally interesting, but altogether strange, headline: "ALOHA, DES MOINES: Asian, Pacific Islanders Hillary’s ‘Secret Weapon in Iowa’…".  I love me some Drudge island/paradise hooks.  He always likes to share his two bits worth in a hidden tabloid headline.
