Calling All Married Women — VOTE ON TUESDAY! Not exactly the message Democrats will send out.

Not only have women been a majority of the voters in recent elections (53% in 2012), they also kept President Obama in the Oval Office (55% of those women — nearly 30% of all voters — voted for President Obama in 2012). Obviously, women — specifically, unmarried women — decided the 2012 election.

According to exit polls from 2012 conducted by Edison Research, Obama’s margin among unmarried women was 67 percent to Romney’s 31 percent, giving him more than 11 million more unmarried women’s votes than Romney’s total; Romney’s 53 percent of married women’s votes compared to Obama’s 46 percent amounted to only around 2.5-3 million more married votes than Obama’s total. Thus Obama’s margin among unmarried women was more than three times as large as Romney’s margin among married women.

In Virginia, McAuliffe won the unmarried women’s vote (18% of Virginia voters) by a 42-point margin (67%- 25%). Little wonder the Democrat candidates focus on free abortion, birth control, and entitlements and distort and demagogue the equal pay issues; those issues win among unmarried women voters (who are overwhelmingly dependent upon government support).

According to Celina Lake, a Democratic pollster, non-college-educated women (statistically more likely to be unmarried) are “volatile” voters who sometimes don’t make up their mind until the end of an election campaign....

Far too many unmarried women see government as provider, romantic partner (in the case of Obama in 2008), and source of all the goodness in their lives.

Unmarried women can be subdivided into to groups: those on welfare, and those not on welfare.

How do each of these subgroups vote?
