That the Reagan coalition is still viable, or that such things as “Reagan Democrats” actually exist. The GOP got killed among Asian-Americans, who logically should be strong GOP supporters. The GOP is not even asking itself why.

Can somebody tell me why Asian-Americans vote for democRATS? You're right, Mr. Jeeves... logically they should be strong GOP supporters.

WHY do they vote for 'RATs? I don't understand this...

I still think Silver is just fed numbers, but they were correct numbers.

I think the “likely voter” construct has to be reworked.

I also think we are in a cycle where this new demographic wave will turnout in Presidential Elections but not necessarily off year elections. So 2014 might be more like 2010 and 2016 more like 2012/08. Making connections between off years and Pres years.....not really indicative.

Not just Asian-Americans, but minorities in general put Obama over the top this time. Obama's gambit that he no longer needs white voters paid off.
