      http://nyti.ms/14oruAD/Krugman  thinks GOP image as "party of sneering plutocrats" hurts them. But did it with white voters in red/purple states?

      @yeselson But winning more white votes in red states doesn't help the GOP. Even in purple states it's of limited value.

      @HeerJeet I agree. Just saying that, as a sociological, not political matter, it's not at all clear that Romney put off white America.

      @yeselson Wonder if there was a racial divide in perceptions of Romney. To whites he was "competent." To others, sneering plutocrat?

      @HeerJeet I don't know. But Obama got 4% less white votes this time than '08, despite Romney being Romney. White America **is** center-right

      @yeselson I don't have figures on hand, do you know what percentage of the non-white vote did Obama lose from 2008?

      @HeerJeet He did as well, if not a tad better--81% vs 80%. Slightly less among blacks, slightly better with Latinos, somewhat > with Asians

      @yeselson Salient political point is whites in south are a lost cause (le mot juste) but up for grabs in rest of country.

      @HeerJeet That will obviously engender and reflect a deep social tension. Which is gendered, too, because white men even more oppose PBO.

      @yeselson Obviously under Obama the fact that GOP won landslide with white voters takes on greater cultural/social pertinence.
