[Via RCP BTW: Dave and Barry decided early on to throw the white working class under the bus. The Democratic party has had serious problems of recent garnering support from that segment of the electorate, so the decision to throw Joe Lunchbox under the bus was an easy one to reach, and was done by February or March of this year. But the decisions to throw the re election campaign bus into reverse and back up over Joe Lunchbox, after having driven over him once in forward was probably unintentional but repeated. Having Anna Wintour, with her high society British accent, tiny head and DutchBoy haircut go on the air hawking raffle tickets for dinner with The Obambi is a bit much. Then there are the tri weekly cross country flights to Hollywood to grace $40,000 a plate dinners with the pres and millionaire Hollywood types. For a $12.00 or $20.00 an hour furnace repairman, equating those activities with his situation is sort of like putting square pegs in round holes. Then there was the creation of 800,000 competitors for the jobs all of them are feeling grateful to have in this economy of The Obambi's creation. Dave and Barry should feel grateful, though, that no matter how much they infuriate Joe Lunchbox for the remainder of the campaign, the gun and ammunition makers have no more product to sell, the entire rest of the years production output being already spoken for. The founders, the descendants of the original settlers who built this great nation have no recourse but to stand back with their hands on their rectums while Dave and Barry along with La Raza, the SEIU, #Occupy Wall Street, Rachel Maddow, and the rest of Barry's Bolsheviks, Bill Ayers, Van Jones, and Frances Fox Piven steal their country and their future from them.]
"President Obama does not currently have enough white support to win re-election even if he retains his minority base from 2008. At the same time, electoral data indicates Mitt Romney has not yet attracted enough of these white voters to capitalize on Obama's weakness.
Pundits often note that Romney cannot win with his current level of Hispanic support. That's likely true. But so is the converse: Obama cannot win with his level of white support unless white swing voters withhold their votes from Romney as well.
Today, fewer whites back Obama than any Democratic candidate since Walter Mondale. Romney does not need to emulate Ronald Reagan to win. Should he match Reagans share of the white vote in 1984 -- presuming all else remains constant since 2008 -- Romney would rout Obama.
Of course, America has changed since Reagan. Non-Hispanic whites were 89 percent of the electorate when Reagan first won the White House in 1980. They were 85 percent in 1988. By 2008, whites were 74 percent. That shift has upended the electoral landscape. But only so much.
Take Michael Dukakis fate as an example. In 1988, George H.W. Bushs margin of victory exceeded Obamas in 2008. But if Obamas level of white support in 2012 equals Dukakis, and all else remains the same from 2008, Obama would likely narrowly win. He would lack a mandate and risk immediate lame-duck status. But he would survive with white support that once sundered Democrats.
Unless....."
