More Sore Butts

You get your ass kicked like what happened last Tuesday and it's gonna hurt for a while.  And it's good to know there're plenty of jerks just like me to rub it in for ya too.

Romney won the Old White Guy vote by close to 20 points on average, and close to 30 points in some places.  That's a really big deal, and it wins every national election by a huge margin - if it's 1982 and if it's the only demographic you have to appeal to.  But it isn't, and it isn't.

Here're some highlites (via Rolling Stone) on how it breaks down here in the real world of 2012:

• Latinos voted for Obama 70+% to Romney's (about) 30%
• Blacks (who showed up in numbers just as strong as in 2008) voted for Obama 95% to Romney's 5%
• Gen Y (18-30 years old) voted for Obama 60% to Romney's 37%
• Gen X (31-44 years old) voted for Obama 54% to Romney's 47% (approx)
• Single Women voted for Obama 67% to Romney's 31%
