Romney Advisor Brags: We Won Wealthier, White Votes
Mitt Romney may have lost the 2012 election, but if you ask his top advisor Stuart Stevens, the former Massachusetts governor has nothing to sulk about.
Writing in the Washington Post , Stevens bragged that Romney's ability to win over middle class voters was the real victory earlier this month.
"On Nov. 6, Mitt Romney carried the majority of every economic group except those with less than $50,000 a year in household income," Stevens wrote. "That means he carried the majority of middle class voters. While John McCain lost white voters under 30 by 10 points, Romney won those voters by seven points, a 17-point shift."*
Cenk Uygur breaks down Romney Advisor Stuart Stevens boasting that the GOP had won more votes from people from households earning above 50k/year and young white voters. What is the subtext here? Are voters not in those categories less worthy to brag about getting? Does this go back to Republican pundits whining about "non traditional" voters upsetting the race?
