Where did you get that figure?  I'd like to see the white % from 2008 for all states.

Well, there's this:



This shows although  Romney  is crushing Obama with the white vote,  it is very inefficient, a lot of votes are being  wasted where they are not needed.

The South is just a horror to look at.  

We were so close up in Jersey... oh so close.

There's really no other explanation for that ten point shift in the white vote in the Deep South form Kerry to Obama than racism. Wow.

Seriously.. you would think that Obama is actually a BETTER fit culturally for the Deep South as compared to rich guy liberal from Mass., John Kerry.   Take into account the country shifted 9 pts TO Obama overall... this is a sad, sad result out of one of my favorite states.  

EDIT: this IS Clinton country... almost every state to swing GOP in 2008 is a Southern state that the Clintons had specific appeal.

And it looks like it might get even worse this year.

Oh, it most certainly will.  Romney is counting on whites and only whites to carry him through.  The race divide in the 2012 election is going to be painful to look at.

Thankfully, it's  the last time ever.

Thankfully, the conservative party in the country is going to be pigeonholed into adopting more palatable positions.
