Cite?

I didn't think so...

Some exit polling:

"Obama barely won among men (49% to 48%), but strongly among women (56%
to 43%), overwhelmingly among blacks (95% to 5%), and convincingly among
Latinos (66% to 31%) and Asians (62% to 35%). However, he lost among
whites (43% to 55%) as Democrats normally do. He did progressively worse
with age, winning the 18-29 year-olds 66% to 31% but losing seniors 52%
to 46%. He swept every educational category as well as Catholics and Jews
but lost Protestants 54% to 45%. He won people living in big cities,
small cities, and suburbs, but lost in small towns and rural areas. One
is tempted to say McCain won in traditional 19th century America (what
Sarah Palin would call "real America"): older white Protestant men living
in small towns. Obama won everywhere else. The Republican Party is going
to have to think long and hard if it wants to hitch its wagon to this
fading star while the Democrats are going after younger, multicultural,
urban voters."
