95% of African Americans, 66% of Latinos, and 61% of Asian Americans voted for Obama.
Obama only received 41% of the White male vote (vs. 57% for McCain) and 46% of the White female vote (vs. 53% for McCain).
(I got this from a site whose link I lost - sorry.)
I'm guessing this must be the first time that the majority of white people were not on the winning side of a presidential election. Notice that the non-white vote was overwhelmingly for obama, and certainly won the election for him.
The support of asians for obama is puzzling - they are as a group very hard working, and probably proportionately the most harmed by "affirmative action".
I think one thing the hispanic vote shows is that supporting the illegal alien invasion won't win you their vote. Future GOP candidates should note that that only alienates white voters who would otherwise vote for them. McCain was a full-fledged supporter of illegal aliens - more evidence that the the next republican candidate needs to be a conservative, not a RINO.
