It's amazing that the republicans 'alienated voters so much' yet Obama won by only 5%.

Also, Akuma, you are wrong when you mentioned post-grad/degree holder. In case you didn't know, the average republican is more education than the average democrat. So it's not like the Republicans aren't winning the smarter voters over.

I have found the simplest way to help people visualize the respective educational demographics of each party is the following: Republicans are similar to a bell curve, and Democrats are similar to a reverse bell curve. Republicans are strongest with the some college/college graduate demographics, and Democrats are strongest with the <HS graduate/post-graduate demographics.
