Now that the 2008 Presidential election is months old and the statistics are all finished, it is interesting to look back at the results and highlight the major trends.

• Obama won among all races, except White; however, Whites constitutes 74% of voters.
• Obama won among all religion, except Protestant; however, Protestants constitutes 54% of voters.
• Obama won among all age groups, except 65 years or older which constituted 16% of voters.
• Obama won among all regions, except the South which constituted 32% of voters.
• Obama won among educated voters.
• Obama lost to people who own guns.

Thus, McCain’s core constituents were elderly southern white protestants who are stupid and own guns.  It is a group that has suspended reason in favor of mythology and have the greatest chance of dying before the next election.  It is a group that already gets a disproportionate share of government aid via social security, medicare, and largely does not work.  This group has universal health care and, apparently, doesn’t care that the rest of the country does not.  This group is more likely to blow your head off. This group is largely socialistic but conservative in ideology — of course, they are stupid.

That’s right, the group that favored McCain is already socialistic, being supported with government programs for both income and health care.  Yet, they want to deny the rest of the population the same benefits.  This group doesn’t care about climate change because they are going to die before that is a problem.  As my father says, these people are selfish bastards who need to die already — they are just wasting space.  This group represents the culmination of an American life of selfish greed — hardly the greatest generation.

The future doesn’t look good for Republican constituents.  Whites are continuing to decrease.  The country is  becoming less religious, particularly among younger voters.  Republicans have lost all regions, except the South, and there is no signs of Republican increases in any region.  The only age group where Republicans have an advantage is dying fastest. Republicans are stupidly opposed to abortion which results in more non-Republican births. Republicans also do poorly among educated voters which is why they are opposed to education and do best in the worst educated states in the nation.  Keep teaching that creationism!

Looks like Republicans have a difficult job going forward.
