Yup, not exactly surprising that nationally, the party of naked hostility towards women, minorities, gays, moderates, low-income, and educated folks didn't do so well this time. Although who knows, in 2014 they might have better luck "regionally", where those kinda prejudices still thrive....

Did you actually read the links (any of them)? Can you move past your hatred? BTW, we lost the presidential election by 3% nationally. That's not exactly some huge loss.
Tell me something - are a majority of 18-29 year old whites, whites in the Northeast, and whites in California all racist? (BTW, all these groups went for Obama in 2008.)
The reason I posted this was that I wanted both sides to actually read the exit polls to actually get a grasp on reality. Republicans constantly accuse Democratic voters of all being moochers on welfare. Democrats constantly accuse Republican voters of being uneducated trailer park trash and some say that the wealthy primarily vote Democrat (interestingly, both sides actually seem to hate the poor and uneducated and think that's the entire other side). Neither are the case and I wanted both sides to see that.

Folks interpret data many different ways (duh!), although if you had such an "important" message, then perhaps you should have said so in the OP. And BTW, before trying to "educate" the rest of us, maybe you could first "get a grasp of reality" yourself, and quit trying to re-frame and re-interpret your "not exactly huge loss".
But regardless how you try to spin it, the majority still isn't buying... then or now. Deal with it.

It doesn't matter what those polls say, each side is going to continue to believe what they want to believe because its make people them feel better. Republicans will always carry the torch for being the party to rich, and hostile to anybody who isn't old, white, and male. Democrats will be seen as socialist, welfare dependent moochers, who want to take other's people money and give to takers.
What the analysis of the exit polls confirmed is that America's fastest growing minority population hispanic and asian respectively aren't buying into the Republican propaganda machine and it made a huge difference this election. It's the only two groups that swung harder Democrat than anything else.
The exit polls tell us about race, creed, color, education, etc. but one thing they don't address is how well informed the voter is. That's what I'd like to see. Something as simple as can you name your US House member, and who did you vote for for prez.
