In reply to the discussion: Top Romney Adviser Brags About Losing Poor, Minority Voters To Obama [View all]starroute
(12,977 posts)23. I don't understand that under-30 figure
Obama only took 60% of the under-30 vote this time, compared to 66% in 2008 -- but he still beat Romney among those voters by 24 points. So how could Romney have been ahead among white voters under 30 by 7 points?
It seems to me that would only work if whites represented less than half of the under-30 voters and went for Romney by an overwhelming majority. Or am I missing something here?

You realize that Romney's way could eventually lead to you losing everything you have.
