Our electoral lock will only strengthen if the GOP insists on alienating minorities at every turn.
The GOP had convinced themselves that brown and black people voting was some kind fad that would go away like the pet rock. Yesterday they were acting all surprised that the white vote went down, even though it always does. The Romney campaign strategy of winning with 60% of the white vote was built on the assumption that the white vote would at least stay steady, when there was no empirical evidence it would. When polls kept showing D+x they kept insisting that all these brown Dems would never vote. They had no evidence, it was just Reagan era nostalgia.
