Exit polling from the NY Times:
• Nationally, five percent MORE white people voted for President-elect Obama than voted for Senator Kerry.
• +7 in the rural vote for the president-elect over Kerry.
• In Indiana, the white vote was +22 over Kerry. And, get this, Kerry was +4 better among African Americans four years ago in Indiana.
• Whites +7 in Ohio. +15 in Virginia. +17 in North Carolina.
This kills any assumptions from the right that Obama won just because of the African American vote (the Limbaugh "totally about race" argument). It was a powerful coalition of all races that led to victory.
