...during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election
, Filipino Americans voted majority Democratic, with 50% to 58% of the neighborhood vote casting for President Barack Obama
and 42% to 46% balloting for Senator John McCain

. The 2008 election marked the first time that a majority of Filipino Americans voted for a Democrat presidential candidate." Wikipedia

So today, Filipino-Americans have voted for a Democratic President and the sole Congress member is additionally a Democrat.

It's the character and the quality of the President. I DON'T think filipinos are loyal to any party.

it doesn't explain the shift from red to blue. and it less than 30-40% for blue voters within our community.
