Let's be clear, you didn't actually read the OP. If you had, you would notice that females have moved more Republican than men have.

The post that I quoted by ReaganFan spoke of angry white men being the deciding the election and that's what I was referring to. I mistakenly referred to it as the OP, but the point stands, angry white men already came out in 2008 in droves, there aren't anymore for Republican to tap into.

I'm not sure what you are talking about.  The White male vote was a swing vote who voted for Obama based on anti-war, the economic problems under Bush in 2008, and general anti-Bush sentiment.  The White Male came out in droves, but they voted for Obama.
Now they are disenchanted with Obama and the continuing economic problems, and they will vote for the GOP candidate.  I don't think Obama can win with just Black voters and White female voters. 
No. White male vote is never a swing vote in a presidential. Ever. Check out any exit poll from any year. White men, as a whole, are reliably at least 60-40 GOP voters.
