I doubt the 4 blocks surrounding Locust and 27th would be able to point to that high number at the polls.

Many of them are business people and/or in hi-tech positions? Dontcha think its time their issues be discussed, after all they live here, pay taxes and should have equal rights as every other faith. The faith issue is regarding "their" holidays, and not having the benefit of making up the time. I saw the video and Gordon made no promies to them, other than to assure them their issues should not be neglected. It just proves that Gordon is a man who believe's in equality and justice for all. When a muslim family calls 911, do you think there is a bi-lingual person who can translate their problem? Much a do about nothin. Perhaps you didnt know but Chris Coons met with them several times, and spoke at their events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-42926233928057000102012-08-24T17:02:11.215-04:002012-08-24T17:02:11.215-04:00I agree with Kavips on all points.

From the post, I was expecting a terribly stilted performance but instead it was warm and thoughtful.Nancy Willinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874107554093904872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-87384972728298358702012-08-22T13:08:20.921-04:002012-08-22T13:08:20.921-04:00kavips

I don't care who he is talking to.<br /><br />As for Muslim children coming back from religious holidays and being mistreated by the school system up here, that's pretty much an urban legend. I won't say it never happens, but all the districts up here are exceptionally sensitive to, and flexible about, religious requirements. Aside from that, Gordon doesn't have any power over the school system in that regard anyway, so it's pretty much an empty promise.Steven H.

I read your review first so perhaps I was expecting something more ghoulish, but didn't see it.<br /><br />On another note, even though you phrased it as pandering, which it is, for members of the Muslim faith this is a light switch going on. I'm sure, Clark nor Sheehan, is concerned about what Muslims care or think, and here you have a candidate who a) met with Muslim spokesperson, b) actually remembered what those concerns were, c) addresses those concerns in message to that minority audience.<br /><br />I was impressed because I'd, enlightened as I consider myself, have never given thought to what Muslim children must go through returning back from their Christmas break, while school was in session. <br /><br />Most importantly, is the psychological relief, of being a minority who is constantly ridiculed and derided, to have, a former chief of police no doubt, treat you as a person.<br /><br />So, for once, and politicians do pander, i think this one used it to rise above the normal pandering and show a side of character that up to now, most of us thought he had been lacking... <br /><br />I was pleasantly surprised.....kavipshttp://kavips.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
