This is a pretty good article by Daniel Greenfield. What he neglects to mention, though, is that white Democrats have been vanishing for about 50 years, though the trend is accelerating in the Age of Obama, fueled by the rhetoric of racial divisiveness. Fifty years ago, in 1964, Lyndon Johnson became the last Democratic presidential candidate to capture the majority of the white vote nationally! Since then (please correct me if I'm wrong on this), no Dem presidential candidate has even won a plurality of the white vote.

That’s correct.

According to exit polls, Clinton lost the White vote 41%-39% in 1992 and 46%-44% in 1996. Carter lost it 52%-48%

And Obama lost it both times of course, 55%-43% in 2008, 59%-39%! in 2012.

If you find out let me know... that's interesting - never thought of it that way.
