Mitt Romney’s run for president is the “last hurrah” of the white race in this country. Many whites will be voting for him for this reason, so perhaps they will have a four- or eight-year hurrah. Many whites don’t recognize the USA anymore; minority persons, including women, seem to be running everything. This is especially true for older whites. Even the younger whites, who were Obama supporters in the last election and who now support the Occupy movements, feel sure the Republicans will not help them realize the “American Dream,” as they begin to doubt whether Obama will deliver it to them. They are beginning to doubt whether they should continue to throw in their lot with those who vote Democratic because they see the Democratic Party as the source of assistance that they need and have even come to rely on.

The older whites yearn for qualification tests for voters, perhaps not as Draconic as the Republicans are supporting in some states, but something like the original requirement that a voter had to be a property or land owner. They certainly wish the voters they think the Democrats drag to the polls had some idea who their local and federal representatives were, what the three branches of the US government are and what country the Declaration of Independence was aimed at.
