Arab-Americans vote based on religion more than ethnicity. The Lebanese Catholics who have been here for generations tend to lean Republican like white people in general do. The Muslims who are usually recent immigrants are heavily Democratic.
Greek-Americans voting 73% for Bush seems unlikely. Most of the people I know who are of Greek ancestry are moderates or liberals. This is the immigrant group that produced Michael Dukakis, Paul Tsongas, Nick Galifianakis, Paul Sarbanes, Alexi Giannoulias, etc
English-American seem like a useless category. English-American could cover everyone from the liberal WASP in Vermont who voted for Kerry to the faith-family-and-freedom gun owner in rural Appalachia who supported Bush. There really is no insular "English-American" community in the way there are for, say, Italians or Jews.
