Be you didn’t know this….
“…many of (John) Kerry’s Arab American supporters say they were moved by his October speech, and by the prominence in his campaign of other Arab Americans like Bill Shaheen, a lawyer and the husband of former New Hampshire governor Jeanne Shaheen, who chairs Kerry’s campaign.
Bill Shaheen, who campaigned for Kerry in Michigan last weekend, recalled his exchange with an African client of his law firm as a way of illustrating Kerry’s support among Arab Americans.
“This Rwandan woman I had just helped asked me if she could do anything for me in return,” he recalled. Shaheen said he asked her to support John Kerry with her vote, if she could. “She said, ‘I can get you 23 votes. When we vote, we vote like a village.’ ” Shaheen laughed at this, and said, “So do we.” . . .
Collectivist voting circa 2004 (or any year) isn’t a surprise but encouraging a Rwandan and her village to vote….hmm. Does Martha Fuller Clark own property in Michigan?
