This isn’t really big news or anything, but Gallup’s latest poll shows just how big a hole the Republican Party has dug itself into: they now have virtually no appeal to anyone non-white. They’re almost exclusively a party of white men and women, which explains why their base has convinced them to haul out racial fears as their main line of attack against Sonia Sotomayor. I just hope they aren’t surprised when their meager 11% non-white base declines even further after this is all over.
