One of the striking results of the CNN exit poll:
Voters of $200,000 income and more:
Obama - 52%, McCain - 46%
No recent Democrat has ever won the upper income voters

Exit polls arent the best predictors..but if its evrn close to being right on the money, they certaintly werent scared away by Obama's plan to end Bush's tax holiday for the top income group.
BTW, his 43% showing among white voters was also the highest for a Democrat in more than 30 years.
