The One Simple Reason Newt Gingrich Will Not Win The General Election: Women
Posted by RealQuiet (Diary) December 7th
Newt Gingrich has conducted a brilliant campaign strategy since he stumbled back in late spring regarding Paul Ryan’s Path to Prosperity Plan. He has been masterful in debates and shown an eagerness to take on and fight the media elite. He has owned up to his personal and political mistakes and stated candidly what his positions are, though many may disagree with them but still live with them.
He hasn’t shown the brash ego and self-centeredness that reared its ugly head so many times when he was the Speaker of the House. He certainly seems to be a changed man.
BUT…..
Though Gingrich has engaged in his own political cronyism and playing both sides of the fence on political issues like Mitt Romney has in the past (which the Republican voter seems to be willing to overlook), there is one thing that will stop him from winning the general election:
A considerable majority of American women will not vote for him because of his past marital actions of betrayal
Most American women whether they be Democrat, independent, or Republican will not vote for a man who cheated on his previous wife(s). Among women, men like this cannot and will not be trusted. People like to point out that Ronald Reagan had two wives. The key thing is Ronald Reagan never cheated on Jane Wyman, his first wife. She left him because there was nothing left in common between them as she claimed. That is a very big difference.

They voted for Bill Clinton, in droves.
Well, they’re supporting him in SC, bible-belt beltloops, so hopefully tomorrow night we can put this meme to rest, too.
They STILL want to vote for Bill Clinton in droves.
Yes, BS
In 1996 Bill Clinton raked in 11 percentage points more women than men, 54% of all women and 43% of all men voted for Clinton. The only other president to get a higher women vote was Barack Obama with 56%.[3] This gap has serious significance. Bill Clinton won with 49.2% of the popular vote or 47 million votes. Fifty-four percent of all women voters voted for Bill Clinton. While men were split 43% Clinton, 44% Dole and 10% Perot. The Clinton – Dole divide was insignificant among men, only 1 percentage point. However among women that gap is 54% of women voting for Clinton to 38% of women voting for Dole. In terms of votes that is 11 million votes. Bill Clinton defeated Bob Dole with just over 8 million votes.[1][4]
Gingrich being Catholic could make this only the second time in history that a Republican candidate won the Catholic vote against an incumbent Democrat.
Being Catholic would make up for the loss of a few female votes, and the book isn’t written yet that he would do badly among women.
I heard Erick Erickson on the radio this evening, and thought he sounded like he’s been hanging around with too many GOP “establishment” types. This fear of Obama’s “electability” is ridiculous.

Foregiveness, redemption, contrition.....women can weigh in on these, too. PLUS....ANYBODY BUT BARRY!!!!
Well... I’m a woman , and if I get the chance , I plan to vote for him . sniff
One other itemm. The SC Primary is almost half women, and the combined voters of Huckabee and Thompson was around 53% women. If PPD’s numbers about a 9 or 10 point lead are true, it would mean that Gingrich is winning the female vote and that the gender gap is not as significant as it was first reported in IA and NH. Haven’t seen this yet, so have nothing to compare it to.

The tide is shifting back. Women like men again. Newt’s performance last night in that debate ushered in the era where nuance will be on the wane, and speaking straight and strong is going to make a comeback. Those were women cheering too, in that hall.
The difference between the two is that Romney would be a disaster for conservatives and the country, win or lose and Gingrich may be a disaster for the country.

What a weak-knee spineless jellyfish. Some hagged out drunk of an ex-wife comes on TV and says some incoherent ramblings and they want to ditch a candidate. All that time, money, and energy to be a candidate is supposed to cave to the likes of a hagged out drunk.
Thank God it is Newt running and not these pussies.
I’ve been startled by the volcanic hatred from Newt from women on the right and middle I meet. I don’t know a single woman who’ll vote for him.
If people think he’ll beat Obama with only the white male vote in his pocket, they’re nuts.
It is a figment of the media imagination that women as a group have any more regard for "character" than men do.
How about all the women out there that are married to men who have nutty ex-wives bothering them? Won’t they be motivated to vote for Newt?
Always something.
This IS 2012 right? Not 1957...
He is running against the metrosexual or bisexual Obama. Newt will clean Obamas clock. Obama will be Rick Rolled by the Newtron bomb!
Simply reason Romney will not win - Third Party conservative splits the anti-Obama vote.
We need someone who is ELECTABLE, for once.
The country is defined by our culture and our culture has been destroyed. Keep you powder dry. The Shumer is about to hit the fan.

We must end women’s suffrage!
Horse puckey.
All of my female friends love Newt, and I live in the South.
He is the Repo Man this country needs to take back our Country. Repossess our Country.
Newt, the Repo Man.
Jesus isn’t on the Ballot.
This argument is right up there with Mexicans are all pro Illegal Alien Amnesty.
That is BUNK!
Boy, did we think Klinton was toast, especially after taking the House and Senate. Sound familiar?
We did not work hard enough to secure Klintoon's defeat.

I am a 58 year old Christian Conservative woman. I support and will vote for Newt Gingrich. I am very impressed with how he handles himself with tough questions, such as the conversation with the gay man. I love how he came back at CNN and separately at Juan Williams.
Moral values are important - my highest priority is pro-life, which is his position. His marital shenanigans and other ethical lapses concern me, but I think we need a capable man who cares about our country and will fight for it. I doubt if any, except perhaps Rick Santorum, have no skeletons whatsoever, and I think he is most qualified of the remaining crew to lead.
Like many, I believe that 4 more years of President Obama and his pals would take this country down the tubes completely.
“I’ve been startled by the volcanic hatred from Newt from women on the right”.
Same here, Dw. The women I know, be they young or old, all seem to hate him. SIGH.
You can sure put my wife in that category.... she HATES Newt.. I can't get past that with her, with ANY topic.
Not that I try all that hard... re: Newt.
I am sure that there are many of these women out there. There is nothing more dangerous than a vindictive ex-wife.
"I'd be happy to give him [oral sex] just to thank him for keeping abortion legal," boasted former Time magazine White House correspondent Nina Burleigh about Bill Clinton. She made her offer known to Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz when he called to discuss a piece Burleigh penned in the July/August Mirabella magazine detailing her lust for Clinton.
That's great! ... I'm gonna steal it :-)
I’ve been sayng the same thing for months .
Clinton won because of Ross Perot
Yes, the article is BS. Mitt WILL NOT carry the South. Simply will not happen.
Men, women, even many Dem dogs will not vote for him.
I’ve been saying the same thing for months . The Newtbots close their ears .
I can name at least 3, so now you know 3.
“The life of a repo man is always intense.”
Look at their accomplishments. Newt allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.
Romney, on the other hand, vehemently denied Ronald Reagan and aligned himself with Ted Kennedy and the left. Romney accomplished installing liberal big government programs, defended and promoted Roe v Wade and legalized abortion as “settled law,” advocated and implemented RomneyCare with its liberty killing government mandates against formerly free citizens and its taxpayer funded or subsidized and mandated abortion procedures. He ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on the “gay agenda” resulting in gay marriage in Massachusetts. He appointed liberal judges and liberal appointees throughout his government. Under his “leadership” conservatism and the Republican party was all but destroyed in Massachusetts.
Romney is one evil liberal progressive. No way in hell will MittBots be allowed to support this abortionist, big government, socialist scumbag on FR!
Guess my message isn’t clear enough. I have to keep repeating it and zotting would be MittBots.

Well stated.
I agree. Newt makes my skin crawl. Santorum or bust!!
John King is still suffering from Shock & Awe.
The internals of many polls establishes this has a rock hard fact. Newt loses the women’s vote in spades and this does not bode well for the general election. This was part of the topic on Bill O’Reilly tonight.
No, it would be Santorum AND bust.
