RE:”Romney won that group hands down.”

No, he only “won” that group, and by a few points. He DID NOT win 75 to 89 percent of the white vote, which is how EVERY REPUBLICAN did in the South. “

You're talk radio dreaming . Romney did great with the white vote, He didn't do well with single white women but Republicans rarely do, problem is that group has grown and grown over the years..

What Mark and Rush wont tell you is that Obama won because he turned out the nonwhite groups to vote in record numbers. If Republicans cant win their votes they at least need to not inspire them to vote.

Obama’s key groups made the difference — both in their makeup of the electorate and, for the most part, their strength of support for him.
Non-whites made up 28 percent of the electorate, up a bit from 27 percent in 2008. This group largely backed Obama: 71 percent of Hispanics (it was 67 percent last time), and 93 percent of blacks (down a touch from 95 percent).
Republican challenger Mitt Romney won among white voters by 20 percentage points. That’s up from John McCain’s edge of +12 points in 2008.

Romney certainly inspired conservatives not to vote.

“Republican challenger Mitt Romney won among white voters by 20 percentage points. That’s up from John McCain’s edge of +12 points in 2008.”

20 points (60-40) is NOT ENOUGH, given the makeup of the electorate. If you could do any MATH, you’d realize that Republicans WON the white vote in the South by 50 to 78 points. Republicans need to win the white vote by at least 30% nationally, which SHOULD BE EASY considering their performance in the South last year.

But I do realize that COMMON CORE is now taking hold.
