1. The "yoot" vote.
2. The Kollege Kiddie vote
3. The Hispanic vote
4. The "young" evangelical vote
5. The "Black" vote
6. The "intellectual" and "academia" vote
7. The Catholic vote
So which is it?
The yoot and kollege kiddie overlap.
The Hispanic vote heavily overlaps the Catholic vote. White Catholics voted for McCain.
Blacks increased their share of the electorate from 12% in 2004 (voting 87-13 for Kerry) to 15% this year (voting 95-5 for Obama).
Intellectual & academia partially overlap the wealthy vote.
All of those came together. But, more than anything else, Bush’s unpopularity and the collapse of the financial markets is what formed Obama’s coalition.
young evangelicals, eh
sounds like the “emergent ‘church’”
My brother in the windy city of Chicago has always told me “you vote for a Democrat to live like a Republican”. Is that a familiar phrase to anyone?
