Orange County results by city

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I don't think Orange County is going to hold for too much longer for Republicans. It's a matter of when it actually falls.

I doubt it. Obama lost ground with whites (and with Hispanics, believe it or not) in OC, and the swing was only small because of the massive swing with Vietnamese-Americans that probably had to do with a pro-incumbent culture plus the "self-deportation" crap.

The Hispanic vote in California overall swung narrowly Republican.

The exit polls showed an R swing with Hispanics. The overall swing was entirely due to a massive shift with the Asian vote (as well as the fact that it's growing more quickly than any other group).

Haha, Republicans keep hoping minorities voted because of Obama's "demographics". A landslide is coming folks.

There is some truth to it, at least with African-Americans. Though I doubt there were many otherwise conservative blacks who voted Obama solely due to race (as closet racists like to crow about), the idea of a black president clearly got many non-voters to turn out; black turnout in 2008 and 2012 was much higher than in prior years, even if Obama didn't do exceptionally better percentage-wise than Gore and Kerry did. In 2016, the black vote will obviously remain ironclad Democratic, but the depressed turnout will probably keep NC and GA red and possibly swing back Virginia and even Ohio.
