Obama's election was an assemblage of minority special interest groups who felt that the white, pro-business, pro-defense interest of the Republicans didn't mesh with their take-care-of-people-and-the-planet-first agenda.
Most of the first time voters went to Obama, and then he got all of the gays, most of the latinos and the Jewish voters. Many of the elderly thought he would protect medicare and social security. All the anti-war folks and the anti-religion groups all went that way as well.
Appeal to enough minorities and you get a majority.
