ace...Obama's numbers exceed every Democratic in the last 20-30 years...
the highest percentage of white voters
the highest percentage of college educated voters
highest percentage of high income (over 100k and over 200k)
There are problably many reasons...enthusiastic support for Obama's policies, repudiation of Bush policies...or a general drifting away from the Republican party because it has become too conservative in many non-fiscal areas.
