22. I think you misunderstand me

I know full well that women of all ages and races supported Obama. That's my point. If Romney got 60% of white votes, yet lost sub-groups of whites, like women and young people, that increases the percentage of white, middle aged men inside that 60% who voted for Romney.

That proves my point of how isolated the white, middle aged male is in the overall demographic, where I find myself. Hence, my analogy of being isolated on a desert island in the sea that's the majority vote.

Also, in my original post, I did not differentiate women by sub-groups of race and age. I said women, without differentiation.

I hope that's clear enough so you didn't get the mistaken impression that I don't get the real numbers.

Wonderful post. Grateful for Hope Nov 2012 #1
