In general Democrats though appealing to be good have always have caused problems here whereas the Republicans have been good to India outwardly. America has often said that it has no friends nor enemies; it has only permanent interests. There is no problem for the localized Indians. But for those who have one leg here and one there (and I believe there are substantial numbers in the second category), their thoughts will be influenced by their interest and current state of affairs. And the resultant predicament will be awkward for all.

Iyya,
American elections have different meaning for American PIO's and Indian nationals.
American foreign policy is to protect the American interest.
For eight years, from 1953 to 1961, Dwight David Eisenhower a republican America was Anti-India and that still lingers. Subsequent Democrats,Kennedy had a personal connection to India and changed the policy, Carter, and Clinton were friends of India.
Nixon a Republican was anti-India to please China.
Bush was not a friend of India or Indians. He refused to Honer Divali, ware as Id, and other religious festival were observed in the white house.
Obama was the first President to celebrate Divali in the white-house.

Obama has been very friendly, and State office headed by Mrs. Clinton has been very friendly to India.
More so as friend of Afganistan they have tamed Pakistan which helps India.
