So, What Kind of People Would Vote for Obama .....

Apparently, just about every kind of people. This report from msnbc.com's Tom Curry notes that, "no single group can take credit."

"If as the saying goes, 'victory has a hundred fathers, but defeat is an orphan,' among the 'fathers' claiming credit for Barack Obama’s triumph are different demographic groups and Democratic constituencies," Curry writes. "It was union members who helped make Obama president, says the AFL-CIO. It was young voters who lifted him to victory. Latinos were crucial. Single women were decisive."

But, Curry goes on to note, the numbers tell a different story.
