Had it not been for the fundies then the white vote would of been split evenly between the Dems and the GOP. Good thing is that even just a few million fundies splitting off means that states like Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, NC, SC and even texas could be in play for 2016. We only lost most of these states the past 12 years by a 1-3 hundred thousand. So even if just a fraction of those votes go into a third party candidate and we can bump up black, hispanic and white dem votes by a few percent then it might start to look like a slaughter. And the best thing is that would mean we won't be in danger of losing ohio, virginia, or florida in the near future.
