I said the Republican and Tea Parties are predominantly white male. When you show me that minority amounts of women and minorities voted Republican, it only reinforces my point that the Republican and Tea Party bases are predominantly white and male.
Statistically speaking, that's a 12 point spread - 44% and 56%. Indeed, that's huge in politics. Most modern Presidential elections are won with 52-53% of the popular vote at best. [0]
Hispanics, as you noted, are over a 30 point spread.
So politically speaking, having only 44% of the female vote and still winning requires a very large (political) majority of voters voting Republican to be male. Add to that age, and again we're seeing clearly that old white men are the key demographic. [1]
It's not that you and I see percentages differently. It's the political significance of the margins that define the argument.
