On the other hand, this from John Fund: There are now six million Muslims in the U.S.--a million Arabs plus five million Iranians, Pakistanis, blacks and Filipinos. That's more than the number of Jews (now 5.7 million). In addition, there are two million Arab Christians. Sen. Spencer Abraham's campaign notes that even with their lower voter turnout, Arabs or Muslims make up 5% of the vote in his home state of Michigan. They also account for 2% of the vote in Illinois and 1% in Ohio and California. Houston alone has 50 mosques, and a member of a Muslim faith-based drug-treatment program spoke at the GOP convention. Mr. Lieberman's staunch support of Israel may not endear him to this constituency. opinionjournal.com

On the third hand, Fund agrees with you about the $war chest. The ads and voter-turnout programs financed by soft (unregulated) money on behalf of Gore will balloon. Fund-raisers estimate that money spent on pro-Gore activity will soar by $20 to $30 million--largely Jewish Americans bursting with justifiable[?] pride. Even more money would be raised if Hillary and Bill hadn't already tapped out so many top-dollar donors.
