Romney actually won young white voters

AP's already picked through the gruesome national exit polling from Tuesday. I'd like to highlight one additional piece of data that is especially interesting: According to CNN's figures, Mitt Romney actually won white Millenials (18-29 year olds) by seven points, 51-44, despite losing the broader demographic by 23 points. (McCain lost young voters by 35 points in 2008).

Virtually all of Romney's gains within this age bracket came from young whites. He got absolutely demolished by young people of color; losing young Hispanics by 51 points, and young blacks by 83 points. The specific age breakdown of Asian voters isn't available, but Asians broke 3-to-1 for Obama overall, so an approximate extrapolation isn't particularly difficult.

The demographic implications of Tuesday's results are becoming increasingly obvious: Republicans simply cannot win elections without dramatically improving their standing and image among non-whites. If they don’t, they’ll quite literally lose the future.

What the reps need to do is find a true conservative. Look at it they failed to get 3 million reps to the polls by estimates. They were ones who wanted a conservative, not a painted conservative. You had some voters that went to other parties because they would not accept Romney no matter what because he wasn't conservative. You saw it on this board.
Many polls show this country is conservative when they are asked on specific issues. The only thing is they vote for the feel good guy because he has a cute thirty second commercial etc.

If white women had stayed in Romney's camp, those swing states -- Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire -- might have moved into his column. Instead, Obama led among women by 12 points, nearly identical to his lead among women four years ago.

And women....Republican and Independent women again jumped ship because the Republican Party scares the Hell out of them....

They don't want old grey haired men sitting in Washington D.C.- making decisions on their lives that they believe should be left to them to make....Republicans have to stop being morals preachers and policemen- or they are doomed...I saw two ladies of Bush's former administration commenting on TV the other night- and they said those old grey haired ********* types and their stupid rape comments (Akin, Mourdock, etal) sent many of their female Republican friends to the Libertarian Party this year...

The other thing is-- the projected demographics of this country is that the white population will continue to decline- with minorities continuing to rise- with Latinos being the fastest growing sector of the country....

Repubs need to recognize evolution---Either evolve or die !

Oldtimer when you have the friggin media painting the whole party with the comments of two candidates that lost their election bids you get the reaction you did.

And again with the white haired man making decisions for them . :roll: FGS what they are looking for is the DEMS TO PAY FOR THEIR SEXUAL MISTAKES. We now live in a world where personal responsiblity has been left up to the government, lawyers and judges. Any women voting for Obama and the Dems are looking for the government checks that COME WITH THEM AS THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR BEDROOMS THEY WANT TAX PAYERS TO PAY FOR TO CLEAN UP THEIR MESSES. :mad:

OT, I wholeheartedly agree with you on the demographics. This is why the next Republican presidential candidate needs to appeal to ALL demographics, get elected and then turnaround and bitch slap all the illegals and liberals, just like Obama did and will do to the conservatives and illegal immigrants. Play the game and win!
