Quote:Just remember how many silly people voted for O'bama
That's how many can be wrong again !!
Silly doesn't begin to adequately describe the Trump supporters, and of course underestimating Dem voters as 'silly' is exactly the kind of patronizing and denial of reality that resulted in the butt-hurt experienced by Romney and his voters.
Sounds like history will repeat!

The Types of People Who Voted for Obama

After months of punditry and polling trying to figure out who still wanted Barack Obama running the show and who didn't, last night's results give us insight into the types of people who voted for his re-election.
Some of the demographics like the Black, Latino and young people votes, didn't surprise. Obama got 93 percent of black voters (representing 13 percent of the electorate), 71 percent of Latinos (representing 10 percent), and 60 percent of young voters.
Thanks to the GOP's rape apologist caucus among other generally bad for women things, he also not too surprisingly won the female vote, getting 53 percent of women voters. But, other generalized groups of people went for the president that we wouldn't necessarily have expected to go for Obama.
The Richest Counties in America
Going against the pundit stereotype, Obama won the country's richest counties, according to Reuters's Felix Salmon, who posted this on his personal Tumblr.
Throughout this election we heard a narrative about the nation's wealthy being turned off by Obama because he made them feel guilty for being rich. But at least in those richest counties, that didn't matter.
Part of this breakdown might have to do with education? Obama also won the college educated vote, getting 53 percent in Virginia, where three of those six richest counties are located.
A Majority of Jews
With Israel in support of a Republican administration and big donor Sheldon Adelson giving a huge donation to Romney, Obama still managed to get a majority of the Jewish vote. He got 69 percent of that demographic, according to an exit poll by CNN. If accurate, that is a full 10 percent lower than what he received in 2008. But he still can claim to hold majority favorability with the historically liberal group.
