Ed Kilgore On How The Obama Coalition Is Holding up Well.

++I'm still not sold on Kilgore in New York magazine. I get the same feeling as Steve Benen going to Rachel Maddow.

++Ed today runs through the Reuters analysis of voter identification and how the coalition that elected President Obama is standing pat if not becoming more Democratic as we face the 2016 elections. Democrats now lead in national party identification by 9 points up from 6 in 2012. Hispanics have moved more to the Democrats and African Americans are again strong. Young whites favored Republicans in the last election but now have shifted back to the Democrats.

++I look at the numbers and see an electorate which would be in Obama's sweet spot for this year's election.
