I'm sure everyone's been hearing for years about the threat of changing demographics to Republicans. Somehow it hasn't seemed to impact anything. But I just saw this, which was much more dramatic than I'd expected (even if it's not wholly true.. I'm not sure I trust this as rigorously statistically valid - it seem cherry-pickish, and HuffPo isn't exactly a-partisan, but still!)

But a similar analysis of youth in GOP primaries isn’t even possible. That’s because Republican turnout among voters ages 17-24 has been too small to be measured in 20 of 25 state exit polls. Only the Texas and Ohio GOP state primaries had enough participation by voters age 25-29 to measure in the exits.
Similarly, non-white voters have cast so few Republican ballots that they couldn’t be analyzed in 19 states, while non-white voters are represented in every Democratic primary exit poll. Geographically, fully half of this year’s GOP primary vote has come in counties Mitt Romney won by at least 10 points in 2012 (very unrepresentative regions of the national election he lost by 5 million votes).
