[quote=ocrenter]The minority vote for Obama is quite impressive!
Blacks at 93%, Hispanics at 71%, and Asians at 73%.
The black vote is not much of a surprise, neither is the Hispanics given they are more working class, they are traditionally Dem, and they were under direct assault by the far right rhetoric. But the dramatic loss of the Asian vote, which is predominately upper-middle class is worth noting.
Remember, Asians use to be much more Republican leaning, with a mere 31% vote for Clinton and 55% for Bush Sr. How in the world did the GOP turn that completely around to 26% Romney and 73% Obama? Something for the GOP to think about.[/quote]
I think hispanics had more to do with Romney’s “self deportation”, being against the Dream Act, and surrounding himself with the architects of AZ’s anti-immigration laws.
I know Republican hispanics who voted against Romney because they felt he was anti hispanic.
