Election and party affiliation a reflection of old vs. new America

Many media pundits and talking heads like to talk about how divided we are as a nation. They tend to classify the divisions as: Liberal vs. conservative, Republican vs. Democrat, red vs. blue, urban vs. rural, but I see the division in a different manner and feel it's become more evident every four years - that's old vs. new.

When looking at the exit polls from last week's election, with what demographics did Republican candidate Mitt Romney succeed? The old and the white - men, in particular, along with evangelicals. Where did President Obama succeed? With young voters, minorities, and women. 

The country is becoming more diverse by the year, not only with regard to race, but also with regard to people in power - women and minorities now standing alongside white males with growing numbers. Each and every new generation of voters appears to be more liberal than the last, largely due to social issues - gay rights, in particular. Women and minorities are voting in larger numbers of Democratic candidates, largely due to unfair and inaccurate stereotypes which have been cast upon them by some Republican leaders. Latino- and Asian-Americans are the two fastest growing groups of people in this country and both supported President Obama over Mitt Romney quite quite substantial margins. Gays overwhelmingly support the Democratic candidates because of their typically more liberal stance on gay rights - marriage, in particular. 

With women becoming increasingly more powerful; minorities becoming more populated; gays improving their image, acceptance, and attaining more rights in the process; and young voters become more accepting of the Democratic than the Republican platform, the Republican Party better start adjusting to the new America. Otherwise, they'll go extinct just like the old America will in the coming years.
