” Well,that was then,and this is now. White working-class voters —or white voters without college degrees,the exit-poll group most closely approximating them —are now a mainstay of the Republican coalition.”
Because the Dimwits blew it...in more ways than one ;-o
The actual title does not have the author arrogantly adding his own name to the title.
O.K., this is a point that always annoys the crap out of me in these kinds of analysis. How long does it take to become a citizen if you come here legally?
Doesn't discussing the matter in this fashion simply concede that non-citizens are illegally voting? I am outraged.
I always enjoy reading Narone. The Dems try to appeal to minorities, homosexuals, unions and liberal whites. The problem for them is that many union members and Latinos are Catholics and this administration has declared war on Catholics.
Funny, no mention of white college grads, black professionals, Asians or Indians.
I’m not sure if I believe net Hispanic immigration has been negative over the last 5 years. But even if it’s true, then what happens when the economy truly recovers? Does Barone think that alleged trend will continue then?
But it is nice to see that Barone isn’t pushing the nonsense about Hispanics being natural Republicans, just like the (insert early 20th century European immigrant group here) of yesteryear. I wonder if he’s come to realize how much of a pipe dream that is.
All the minority percentages seem to ignore the fact that TURNOUT may not be what it was in 2008 for Zero. Quite the contrary, with age 18-25 (who are trending VASTLY more toward Romney than in 2008, although slightly behind Zero), and with Hispanics and even blacks, there is NO evidence that ANY of these groups will turn out in the sheer numbers they did four years ago. On the other hand, I’m quite confident that whites, working-class, Republicans, and religious people, will turn out in record numbers to vote against Zero.
