White men in New England or Minnesota or Washington state, for example, still favor Obama.

Does it disappoint you that perhaps the rifts are healing?

Everyone should already know that, didn't you see the sea of old white ppl at the republican convention?

And its not just asians, arab americans, blacks, hispanics, gays, moderate Christians, atheists, and all kinds of minorities are voting for Obama in higher percentages.

Only old white extreme right Christians vote republicans because that is who republicans cater to ONLY. They don't care to be diverse, whether its race, religion or ideas. Just look at the republican conventions. The problem is they exists in huge numbers, that's why they still have a chance.

Not true - educated whites are OK with Obama.

While McCain continues to lead Obama among white voters overall, his support among whites is concentrated among men, older voters, those with less education, and those living in the South. Obama currently leads McCain among college educated whites, while the preferences of white women are evenly split.
