   [1]Ellison (D) out of MN.

   The article also reveals that there are 2 million registered Muslim
   voters in this country.

   Ellis is being painted as a CAIR candidate by [2]LGF and [3]Atlas
   Shrugged. He did accept donations from CAIR but I am not sure he's
   really interested in becoming CAIR's lackey. In the US, orthodox black
   Muslims generally pay a lot more attention to what [4]Warith Deen
   Muhammad has to say than what CAIR (deemed an immigrant Muslim group
   by black Muslims). Warith Deen broke away from the Nation of Islam,
   even though it was founded by his father.

   Also, the new Republican Florida Governor Crist, [5]dropped from her
   election coalition a woman who said that Islam is a "hateful,
   frightening religion."

     "While Charlie Crist respects Ms. Hogan's right to express her
     political and religious beliefs, he does not agree with Hogan's
     views on Islam. Charlie Crist believes that we must not confuse
     those who practice any religion with a prayer toward peace with
     extremists who pervert religion to further a radical cause. He will
     not condone bigotry or discrimination in any form. For those
     reasons, Ms. Hogan will no longer be affiliated with the campaign."
