AKA the "Mama Grizzly" effect.
“Democrats have lost a significant advantage with women voters, who supported Democrats by a 48 to 41 percent margin in 2006, but who have now flipped to supporting the GOP by 49 to 43 percent.”
“AKA the “Mama Grizzly” effect....”
You Betcha! I think some women do vote emotionally rather than on the issues. Of course, some men do this also, but not so many. It’s my belief that this year has seen a large number of women running for governorships or the the US House and Senate on the GOP side of the aisle. And, they are getting a lot of press. Some of it is downright unfair and mean. It’s possible that this is what is fueling the trend toward more women favoring the GOP this year.
One other factor - when one loses a job, or a child loses a job, or a husband or brother loses a job, then the liberal lies do not seem so believable anymore.
