That’s what I found through extensive interviews with Asian voters in Southern California and discussions with political scientists and other experts who study the Asian vote.

Those findings are detailed in a comprehensive online package on the News21 site. An extensive text piece is complemented by various multimedia components, including a video portrait of a pro-Obama Chinese-American family, and audio clips from both McCain and Obama supporters, plus an interactive map tracking Asian-American population centers around the United States.
