Obama won because "white's were outvoted"?

That's a weird headline to read as a white guy who was most definitely not outvoted (at the state level or in the electoral college) last night.

I know what they mean obviously, but I think "compositional changes worked in Obama's favor" would sound a little less jarring than "whites were outvoted"!

    Importing Democrats has-surprise, surprise--helped the Democrats. When the electorate does not support your positions, change the electorate.

      Exactly.

      I hope Republicans understand what this means, though I don't think they do.

      Ed West describes the problem nicely....
