Wow, I have never seen such a bunch of unsubstantiated hollow rhetoric in my life. There is no more "colorful" electorate than there was eight years ago or, twelve years ago for that matter. As is easily seen by past elections, the "electorate" of which you speak has remained essentially the same. Nearly a 50-50 split. And, the "electorate" can change in a heartbeat. Further, that you cite your punk-in-chief as winning with less of the white vote? Well now, that really seems quite dubious...doesn't it? He also won with less of a black vote. The demographics insofar as race goes which went more towards Obama's favor this election cycle than last is the Asian and Hispanic demographic. And, in the case of Hispanics, this only goes to add weight to Romney's claim that Obama's promises to illegal immigrants helped in this matter. Further, while Obama gained in the sex demographic, with more women voting for him in this cycle than last cycle, less men voted for him in this cycle, as opposed to last cycle. So, I think you're delusions that, somehow, the electorate has changed so drastically in just the last eight to twelve years is quite absurd. But, you go ahead and keep on holding on to that delusion.
Of course the demographics have changed. How does Obama get LESS white vote than Dukakis did with completely different results?
Oh, well that one's easy. One rigs an election is how you get "LESS white vote than Dukakis did with completely different results". DUH! You might want to look into those voting precincts which reported 100% to 150% of voter turnout. LOL! St. Lucie might be a good start for you.
