Thanks. I should probably set up a news feed for him -- Prescott, not Drudge.

Along the same line of thought, saw this bit of navel gazing at National Review

Saw it on Drudge; I think it might be good to check out what Drudge is putting up for the next couple weeks, enquiring minds and all....

And Christie is tainted now.

In reply to 1) Presumably a large number

Frankly, I think Obama got lucky with the % he had. If the Republicans had any ability to field a candidate with an attractive plan and absent foot in mouth, Obama would have been in trouble. Instead, he got binders full of women to vote for him.

I agree but after trying for several hours, I cannot think of a credible conservative they have to offer; but then, I cannot think anyone for the Democrats in 2016 either.

I did think about Jeb or his son George Prescott Garnica Bush but W has pretty effectively kiboshed them in the near term.

In reply to [...](In families that made

1) Presumably a large number of white women have identity politics as an influence in voting for a white candidate, just like the 96% of black women voting for a black candidate even with black unemployment in the mid-teens. I betcha most Hispanic candidates got more than 56% of Hispanic women's vote running against non-Hispanics. That's life.

2) While I heard some conservatives with bone-headed misogynistic statements, I can't say I recall Obama specifically going after the white female vote. So you've got those who are anti-abortion who won't be thrilled, and then for those who are pro-choice, abortion was left out of ACA. What other issues were supposed to attract white females - 2 more years in Afghanistan? Forgiving banks for illegal foreclosures?

In reply to What’s Up with White Women? They Voted for Romney, Too

[...](In families that made less than a hundred thousand dollars a year, Obama won by eight points. In families that made more than a hundred thousand dollars a year, Romney won by ten points.) [...]

So what's white got to do with it?

I really find the growing fixation and narrative of whites against Obama very disturbing.

Hopefully this election was the Southern Strategy's last hurrah. It is hardly surprising that its chief advocates grew louder and more obnoxious in their desperation to remain relevant to the GOP.

What is really puzzling to me is why so many progressive/left/liberal writers are taking up the cause from the opposite end and demonizing whites.
