Lee's advice for republicans

While the coalition of voters that supported Obama reflected the increasing diversity of America, and while Obama made gains across almost all demographic subgroups, the majority of his support came from white voters.

Sixty-one percent of his supporters were white, 23% were African-Americans, and 11% were Hispanic. In contrast, 90% of John McCain’s supporters were white. There were fewer white voters to win or lose. This pattern is a huge and we believe it will only increase in future elections.

Note: It is not a good idea for republican candidates for the Republican National Committee Chairmanship to be circulating a CD with the cut of "Obama, the Magic Negro." on it and making funnies about it.
