Daniel Henninger writes about that theme in the Wall Street Journal. He calls attention to this meme:
"In 2008's election, many Republicans and independents voted for Mr. Obama to put a final nail in the coffin of Justice O'Connor's racial anxieties.

They lost in 2012 because they're 'too white.'"
