Hyphenated-Americans are John Kerry's Strength!

John Kerry continues his outreach to Hyphenated-Americans:

The Kerry Campaign today announced several important additions to its senior leadership, including key members of its community outreach team. With the addition of these staff, the campaign will expand its program to engage core Democratic constituencies across the country...

  • ...Handling African-American community outreach for the campaign will be Jena Roscoe...
  • ...Luis Elizondo-Thomson will lead Hispanic outreach...
  • ...[Jay Footlik is working] with the Jewish Community and serving as new Senior Advisor on Middle East and Jewish Affairs...
  • ...George Kivork has joined the Kerry Campaign to coordinate outreach to ethnic communities, including Arab Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Hungarian Americans, Polish Americans, and Portugese Americans...
  • ...Victoria Lai will handle Asian Pacific Islander American issues for the campaign...
  • ...Chad Lennox takes over the Campaign's outreach to the Environmental community...
  • ...Mark Seifert joins the campaign to handle LGBT Outreach...
  • ...Tory Vallely will lead the campaign's outreach to women...
  • ...Mara Vanderslice will handle the campaign's religious outreach...

These groups join Hunter-Americans and Canine- and Canine-Caretaker-Americans in Kerry's list of 'Activist Communities.'

Will those who belong to two or three groups (for instance, African-American Lesbian-American Women-Americans) get twice or thrice as much attention from Kerry?

What about Oppressor-Americans? Or, at least those who won't be voting for Bush.

Meanwhile, there's a distinct lack of hyphens in Kerry's inner circle. See 'Is Kerry's Campaign Colorblind?'.
