Nov 2012

the 6,244,000 black males who voted for Obama are part of the coalition
the 4,470,000 lationo women who voted for Obama are part of the coalition

and they somehow prevailed over the

19,403,000 white men who voted for Obama. (numbers from 2008 because I cannot seem to find polling data from 2012)

That we white males are not part of the Obama coalition? Not welcome in the Democratic Party? Just an unimportant shrinking part of the electorate?
