White Men Don't Count

Since Obama crushed Romney, I never looked at the demographic breakout. I knew Romney took white men, but 62%-38?! lol So I've heard Tweety say more than once that Hillary has a "White Man" problem. Really? How much of this vote does she really need and still massacre the GOP dupe? 15%?

He beat him handily in the popular vote, yes, but the Electoral College vote came down to the battleground states which were all won rather narrowly.

A few hundred thousand votes in a handful of states would have changed the outcome.

The Democratic Party should be looking out for the welfare of all Americans - yes, even white men.
