it won't end the stonewalling. But if the GOP cannot change, they will surely wither and die on the vine.
Women favored Obama by 11 points while men backed Romney by 7; the gender gap has been bigger just once, in 2000 (when men were +11 Bush and women were +11 Gore). Add in marital status and the gaps become garish: Married men for Romney by 60-38 percent; unmarried women (younger, more Democratic, more aligned with Obama on social and role-of-government issues) backed the incumbent by 67-31 percent. Latinos broke for Obama by over 70%. African Americans by more than that. Young people turnout was over 30%, up over 2008 and they broke overwhelmingly for Obama.
All of those demographics are getting larger.
