Working-class whites lose voting dominance in Ohio

Working-class whites are no longer a majority of Ohio's eligible voters, a historic shift in a key Midwestern swing state that has political parties pledging more outreach to a broader coalition of demographic groups.

Democrats are working to paint themselves as the party of diversity. Their 2014 statewide ticket features three white men, two white women and one black woman, compared with the Republicans' all-but-one-male, all-white line-up. Republicans, meanwhile, are seeking to maintain a hold on older voters while courting a new wave of potential Ohio voters, including suburban women under 40 and young college conservatives.

Ted Cruz and his tea bagging blowhards.



Thanks, Ted!

The Democratic party reflects the changing face of America. But then again, certain older voters have more spare time on their hands so they are more likely to vote and they remember the 'good ol' days' of America, you know? The Republican fear machine has a strong hold on them.

If you are talking about the good ole day when most anybody who wanted one could get a decent paying job, well yes. The good old days when working folks could afford to by a house,, well yes. the good old days when folks fended for themselves before acquiescing to government handouts,, well yes.

I know you hate everyone who might be older than you, but for fuck sakes, are things really better in this country now than they were 25 years ago? You tell me.

Here is the problem, those older folks are not voting for the party that has their interest at heart. They are voting for a party that is responsible for fear-mongering---illegals are going to steal your job, death panels, soft on crime, etc. This is a party responsible for the income disparities in America and cutting taxes on the wealthy. Increasing taxes on the wealthy doesn't kill jobs, the consumers with money in their pockets are the job creators. Over the last two decades, the GDP and productivity per hour has gone up yet the median income of the ordinary American has not budged. Why? It all goes to the wealthy 1%. What are these seniors doing?

I love how some love to talk about 'handouts' when most of those who are receiving handouts are working their asses off to make ends meet in these tough times. Many receiving "handouts" are children, not lazy bums. I wish some of you would stop spreading these Limbaugh lies and misconceptions.

The US economy is complicated. Are things getting better? It certainly could have been worse. But don't tell me Republicans are faultless. What are the Republicans doing to improve the quality of the nation? There are lots of reasons which led to the financial crisis including lack of government oversight.

I think it's more a matter of shrinking demographics than anything.

The "bitter clinger" demographic (aging white men with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement) continues to shrink each year and as they shuffle off the mortal coil they simply aren't being replaced in any large numbers.

wow, I'm kind of taken back by her comments. Interesting.

Yes, the us economy is complicated.

We also need a better leader. regardless of his skin color, obama is not a good leader. maybe its different behind closed doors but the perception is that with obama its his way or no way....and obama doesn't have that kind of power; hence we now have a broken congress
