New voters voted for McCain? I thought the drifted in mass into Obamaland in 08.

There are always new voters ~ but don't focus on McCain, he didn't have many either, and Romney certainly didn't show any interest in that sort of thing.

I think he viewed elections as sort of like market competition where the winner takes over the maret and the loser just disappears. He had no sense that population dynamics are such that while dealing with 300 million people, you must also deal with subsets with divergent interests and behaviors. Obama has that failing as well.

I think this election showed the failing in a modern Harvard education ~ these guys are simply too structured to deal with humans.
