• Republicans do better among married voters than single ones. In 1984, married couples were 70 percent of all white voters. In 2012, it was 65 percent.

• Republicans do better among religious voters. In 2007, 15 percent of white voters were secular. In 2012, it was 20 percent.

• Republicans do better among whites in states ignored by Democratic presidential campaigns. Here's an amazing stat: "Obama equaled or exceeded his national share of the vote among noncollege whites in 22 of the 31 states in which exit polls were conducted last year—and won each of them except Indiana."

• Republicans do better among older whites. During the 1980s, Democrats averaged 36 percent among white voters under the age of 30. Since 2000, Democrats have averaged 45 percent.

1. I'm a Euro-American

I'm married and I'm older. And I won't vote for the Goopers.

2. By my skin tone, I'm one of the whitest white folks here

(although my ancestry doesn't bear close scrutiny) and I don't have a use in the world for what the Republicans have become.

Back in the good old days during the New Deal, they were honest and effective as brakes on some of the excesses of liberals. After liberals went out of power in 1969, they just went completely crazy.

Any person of any color who votes for them these days is in serious need of psychiatric help.
