And the problem gets worse for Romney; there were 1.1 million more eligible white voters in 2012 compared to 2008. So Romney's performance in getting his natural constituency to the polls was a miserable failure.
On the other hand; Blacks voted in higher proportion in 2012 than 2008. In fact, for the 1st time in our history, black voter participation exceeded white. It wasn't Hispanics that delivered Obama's 2nd term. It was the record high black turnout combined with record low white voter turnout.
Romney was a miserable candidate. He should have followed his gut instincts and dropped out of the race early on.

Again, exit polling is Soo scientific. Especially when comparing it with numbers like "eligible voters..." By that do you mean people who attained voting age, registered voters or just white people in general?
