#1 If I knew where to find the hard detail underlying this article, I'd do a set of maps - as I fully expected him to do by the end. Sheesh. It does report what we would logically expect to find in red / blue states in regards to white voting patterns. The on factoid he tossed out that actually surprised me was this:
"Whites remain the 800-pound gorilla of ethnic electoral groups, accounting for over three out of every four votes."

Majority, yes, 75%, no - I didn't expect it to be that high.

Thx, tipper!

#2 Difference in turnout rates, esp vs hispanics, but also age. The white demographic is much older than the hispanic and afr-american ones. And the great "youth vote" never materializes.
