You know, working on California for the 100k districts project brought home the point that - at least there; not in Rubio's election, for sure! - the spectacular collapse among those minority groups where Republicans still enjoyed a sizable vote: Cubans, Alaska Natives, Vietnamese, other Asians and Mexicans to a lesser degree (but they're much larger groups) was really already apparent in 2010, but not remarked on at the time. It's a well-deserved and indeed expectable consequence of Tea Party rhetoric; self-deportation, birtherism, the AZ law, you name it. The Dem swing in NE Jersey is probably due to that rather than Sandy as well. And I wonder if Romney's loss can be pinpointed on this factor alone; certainly his failure to retake Florida can.
