GOP Base Still a Shrinking Portion of Electorate
“Democrats got hammered in Tuesday’s election. The conventional wisdom is that this was a referendum on President Obama and a repudiation of his policies,” William H. Frye, a demographer and senior fellow with the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution, wrote Wednesday for salon.com.
“Yet, to many, especially older white Americans, this election had a deeper meaning. It signaled a return to normal in a broader sense, and a repudiation of a younger, more progressive America and, yes, one more racially diverse. To them, the Obama years are seen as a temporary blip as the nation begins to revert back to more familiar political and cultural terrain. . . .”
Frye’s was one of the few analyses of Tuesday’s election results that put race front and center. Race was more often deeper in most stories.
For example, this passage was in a Washington Post story about the narrow victory by Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., which was accompanied by a sharp drop in Warner’s support in rural Virginia:
“Dave ‘Mudcat’ Saunders, a Democratic strategist who helped craft Warner’s rural strategy for his gubernatorial run 13 years ago, attributed that drop to antipathy toward the president, in part racially motivated.
” ‘It breaks my heart to say it, because these are my people, but racism was a huge factor in this,’ he said.
” ‘I think in many areas of rural Virginia, racism is still prevalent, and they dislike Obama more than they like Mark Warner.’. . .”
Analyzing the Maryland gubernatorial race, where the favored Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown (D) lost a bid to become the state’s first African American governor, pundit Mark Plotkin said on the “Kojo Nnamdi Show” on Washington’s WAMU-FM: “In some places in Maryland — I’ll just say it — I don’t think they wanted an African American and they voted that way.”
Frye continued, “Still, to most Democratic operatives, the Obama years are hardly an aberration, even after Tuesday. They have long seen the Obama presidency as a sea change in American politics, where growing minority populations will lead to a future of Democratic dominance.
“Neither view is entirely correct for the near term, which will witness seesaw elections between older whites and mostly younger minorities. On Tuesday, as in earlier midterm elections, whites and those over age 45 numerically overwhelmed voters nationwide. This contrasts with the past two presidential elections, especially 2012, when the raw power of our growing racial minorities in their enthusiastic Democratic support elected the first nonwhite president.
“Longer term, the nation’s minority-driven demographic transformation will make as big a mark in the first half of this century, as did the postwar baby boom in the second half of the last. New racial minorities — Hispanics, Asians and multiracial Americans — will more than double their populations in the next 40 years. Already these new minorities, as well as other non-white groups, account for over 90 percent of U.S. population growth.
“The second part of this transformation, largely unappreciated, is the tepid growth of the nation’s aging white population, which in just 10 years will begin to decline in size. White decline has already begun among younger Americans, as the rest of the white population ages. . . .”
As the Republicans swept to victory, the network most catering to that demographic saw success. “Fox News Channel was the runaway winner among the cable news networks on Tuesday,#mce_temp_url#” Tim Baysinger reported for Broadcasting & Cable. For the first time ever, Fox also beat the broadcast networks in the key news demographic on an election night, with 1.82 million at 10 p.m., Baysinger wrote.
News reports were more likely to report on turnout of black and Hispanic voters than on long-range implications of witnessing a changing electorate.
Carrie Dann wrote for NBC News, “If Democrats were going to hold off a Republican tsunami, they needed their base voters to come out to the polls and pull the lever for the president’s party.
She also wrote, “This cycle, black voters made up 12 percent of the national electorate. That’s compared to 11 percent in 2010 and 13 percent in 2012. Democrats particularly needed high black turnout in Southern states like Georgia and North Carolina.
“Because exit poll data isn’t available for many of those states — which weren’t contested in the 2008 and 2012 presidential election — it’s not possible to make an apples-to-apples comparison to past presidential contests.
“But here’s one data point we do have: In North Carolina, where Democrat Kay Hagan lost her seat to Republican Thom Tillis, black voters made up 21 percent of the electorate. In 2012, that figure was 23 percent.”
Dani McClain, writing in the Nation, disagreed with Dann’s analysis. “One place you can’t lay blame for the Democrats’ trouncing last night: at the feet of black voters. That demographic made up 12 percent of the vote last night, up 1 percent point from the 2010 midterms and on par with turnout in the 2008 presidential election.
“African-Americans — the one group Democratic strategists deployed Obama to motivate — responded yet again to pleas for participation and showed up at the polls in states with hotly contested Senate races. Yes, incumbent Kay Hagan lost her Senate seat to Republican challenger Thom Tillis — a frequent target of the multiracial Moral Mondays movement — but it’s not because black North Carolinians stayed home . . .”
Of Latinos, Dann wrote, “After the disappointing collapse of immigration legislation over the last 18 months, Latino turnout didn’t look as rosy for Democrats as it had in past cycles. Latinos made up eight percent of voters in 2014, compared to 10 percent in 2012. In the presidential year, Latinos chose Obama over Romney by a whopping 44 percentage points. This cycle, they picked Democrats by a margin of 28 percent.
“In Florida, where Gov. Rick Scott eked out a surprise re-election win, Latinos only made up 13 percent of the electorate, compared to 17 percent in the presidential election in 2012.
“Exit poll data isn’t available for another contested state with a high percentage of Latinos: Colorado, an all-mail ballot state.”

Landslide Thwarts Paul DeMain’s Bid for Wis. Senate
Paul DeMain, CEO of Indian Country Communications and past president of the Native American Journalists Association and of Unity: Journalists of Color, Inc., lost his bid for a Wisconsin state Senate seat Tuesday. His opponent, Republican incumbent state Sen. Jerry Petrowski, won in a landslide, the Wausau (Wis.) Daily Herald reported.
With 78 percent of precincts reporting, Petrowski had 68 percent of the vote to DeMain’s 32 percent.
“I look forward to picking up where we left off,” Petrowski said, Keith Uhlig reported in the Daily Herald. “The 29th District is very diverse. I’ve worked on a lot of issues as senator. There’s a lot of tourism, timber and forestry in the northern part of the district, and there’s a lot of dairy and manufacturing in Marathon and Clark counties. Our focus is going to be jobs.”
No Native American tribal members serve in the state Senate. DeMain, 59, entered the race in opposition to the easing of iron-ore mining regulations. His top campaign priority “was to raise the minimum wage, and he endorsed the idea of offering incentives to small businesses to address job shortages. The state should ‘focus on the little people in our communities,’ DeMain said in a debate with Petrowski on Oct. 28,” Uhlig reported.
The Gannett Central Wisconsin Media Editorial Board endorsed Petrowski on Oct. 23, saying DeMain “cuts an impressive figure. He built Indian Country Communications, a media firm, into a national leader among independent voices reporting on issues affecting Native American nations and communities. His experience in business and in communications is formidable, and as a former member of Gov. Tony Earl’s administration, he can add political experience, too.
“DeMain got involved in this race largely out of a sense of outrage at the state’s handling of mining legislation, and many of his critiques on that score are correct. He would add an important voice to state government, and he is a strong candidate.
“But DeMain also happens to have a very strong opponent. . . .”
DeMain, a member of the Lac Courte Orteilles Tribe, told Facebook followers, “I appreciate the fact that almost 24,000 people were willing to cast a vote on my behalf and especially to those who dedicated a lot of time and investment equity in support of my candidacy. I am proud of the campaign we ran which was positive and issue orientated, though my opponent, an incumbent with over 16 years in the political arena won the election with 66% of the vote.”
“I congratulate him on his win.
“It was certainly a rough night for Democrats in Wisconsin and nationally. We will all be taking some time to understand the message that was sent, and how it fits into the principles and issues that the Democratic Party represents so we can continue to move forward into the future.”

Jill Abramson Says Alessandra Stanley Has Tough Job
Alessandra Stanley, the New York Times television critic whose string of errors once led the Times to assign her a special fact-checker, is in the circle of close friends in journalism around Jill Abramson, the former executive editor of the Times.
At last weekend’s Journalism & Women Symposium (JAWS) , when columnist Mary C. Curtis asked Abramson about September’s furor over Stanley’s labeling of television producer Shonda Rhimes an “angry black woman,” Abramson said she had to “push back.”
“I would also like to push back a little bit on the Alessandra Stanley thing for just a minute,” Abramson said. “Obviously I am well aware what she wrote, the phrase ‘angry black woman’ in an otherwise quite positive piece about Shonda Rhimes and the TV show she’s created that, you know (sighs), Alessandra has been a female TV critic for a long time and all of the critics, but especially the women critics at the Times, face a hail of bullets constantly.
“And, okay, one review she wrote might have a regrettable or ‘tone deaf’ phrase in it, but you try doing that job! It is tough to be a culture critic at the New York Times, and it’s tough to be a woman in that job…and over time I think Alessandra has become one of the most engaging critics in journalism today.”
On racial diversity, Abramson said she chose Dean Baquet, who is African American and now executive editor, as her managing editor. She also said retention was a problem, citing Lynette Clemetson, who left the Times in 2007 to become founding managing editor of The Root.

New Assignments for 4 of Color in NPR Newsroom
NPR has reassigned four journalists of color, according to an internal staff memo circulated last week: Sam Sanders, Juana Summers, Hansi Lo Wang and Elise Hu. Hu’s promotion was previously reported.
From the memo:
“Elise Hu — Seoul Reporter:
“The International desk is pleased to announce that Elise Hu will become our Seoul based reporter starting in the new year. Elise will bring a rare combination of radio and digital reporting to this job. She will bring her knowledge of tech reporting to a beat that will be a mix of geopolitical, lifestyle, tech, and business reporting. A bureau in Seoul will expand our commitment to covering Asia where two-thirds of the world’s population is expected to live by 2025. . . .
“Sam Sanders — Newsdesk Reporter NPRW
Sam Sanders will be joining the NewsDesk as a general assignment reporter. Sam will be reporting, writing and blogging stories Sundays through Thursday out of NPRW [NPR West]. This is a natural fit for Sam, who has developed his producing, writing and reporting skills over the past few years at NPR in a variety of roles, starting as a Kroc Fellow. As a producer, Sam has been sent out on breaking news stories – from Ferguson to Dallas to cover the Ebola outbreak. He also traveled to Sochi, Russia as part of NPR’s ‘Winter Olympics Games’ team and reported his own stories (breaking and features) along the way. A ‘digital native’, Sam has sought to take the material he’s worked with on any story and produce creative treatments for our growing series of platforms.
“Juana Summers — Congressional reporter
“Here’s what you may not know about Juana. She cut her chops on the national political stage as a Politico campaign embed in 2012. When she returned from the campaign trail, she asked for an assignment that allowed her to develop some policy chops. She quickly morphed into a defense reporter before joining our Ed Team. Juana has also been a regular guest host on [C-SPAN’s] Washington Journal and a member of the Board of Directors of the Online News Association. Juana got her start at member station KBIA in Columbia Missouri, where she launched the station’s first blog and podcast covering politics and state government and helped produce the station’s 2008 election night live show.
“Hansi Lo Wang — NY Reporter
“Hansi Lo Wang will join the National Desk as a NY reporter. For nearly two years he has covered race, ethnicity and culture as part of the Code Switch team.

His coverage of breaking news including the tornado in Moore, OK; the trial of George Zimmerman and the Washington Navy Yard shooting well prepares him for his new assignment in NY.”
Apology for Lack of White Men in Catcalling Video
“Hollaback, which disseminated last week’s video on catcalling in New York City, apologized Tuesday for the suspicious lack of white men shown in the video,” Evan McMurry reported Wednesday for Mediaite.
“Racial, gender, and class politics is a core part of our work,” Hollabeck director Emily May wrote on the organization’s website. “While we did not create this video, we did allow our name to be used at the end of it. We agree wholeheartedly that the video should have done a better job of representing our understanding of street harassment and we take full responsibility for that. I’m deeply sorry.”
“The video showed an actress walking the streets of New York and experiencing sustained catcalls and harassment, including being followed by one man for over five minutes. The video racked up 32 million views, but came under quick scrutiny for featuring mostly men of color. . . .”
