Comments. White women have good sense.
The only thing worse than believing your own propaganda is believing that of you enemy.
I like white women.
I did not know this.
The gop could, in theory, win every single election for the next 40 to 50 years if they could find a way of winning 75 or 80 percent of the white vote, and they wouldn’t need a single minority vote. Even though whites now make up only 66 percent of the population whites still make up about 75 percent of the voters. Take a look at TX, McCain-Palin won by 15 points, yet whites make up only 49 percent of the population or maybe even less, and it wasn’t because blacks and mexicans were busy voting for McCain, it’s just that whites turned out to vote in large numbers, and they overwhelmingly voted as a block. It’s also interesting to note that Alabama had the lowest rate of whites voting for 0bama, only about 10 percent, 90 percent voted McCain.
Christie won in NJ because of higher than average white turnout and average to below average minority turnout.
No one can out pander the democrats, so it’s unlikely that the repubs can really attract much more than 10 percent of the black vote, which only translates into about 1.3 percent of the total vote, and maybe 30 percent of the hispanic vote, which translates into only about 2 percent of total vote. It seems like it would be much easier to attract white voters. The old saying, fish where the fish are, rings true in this case.
Women versus wymmyn.
Last year, Obama made gains with white men compared to Al Gore. But Obama fared worse than Gore with white women. As for the much-discussed white suburban women’s vote, they went to McCain.
Hmm...I wonder why that might have been?
We know women vote on the economy and domestic issues. The economy was by far the top issue last year. To be blunt, it sucked under Bush in 2008. Bush’s approval was in the 20s for much of the year. The Obama campaign targeted these white women and suburban white women. They spent more money and aired more ads than any other candidate in history on them. He got more positive media coverage than any candidate in history, especially on programs and magazines that white women consume a lot of.
All that...and he still lost them 53-46, the same margin he won overall by, so a 14 pt difference. From +7 in the general electorat to -7 among white women. And that was with all he had going for him including the total economic implosion and market crash of Septemebr and October or it would have been a much bigger margin.

But it would be a mistake, as is true of men as well, to limit the GOP’s white female appeal to the South. Consider that McCain won a majority of working class white women in the Midwest and West.
Again, I wonder what might have had a role in that?
And now according to Gallup white women are already at around 50% disapproval.
If McCain had done even a few pts better among white women which he was well on his way to doing before the crash he’d have won comfortably. The GOP can win comfortably in 2012 once the 3-5 pts worth of white women who switched to Obama after the collapse in a state of panic and frustration at Bush and the GOP realize their mistake and switch back.
So Debbie Wasserman Schultz is full of it up to her eyeballs...whoda thunkit?
This is a demo that will respond favorably to Sarah Palin. Moms matter...
Each day I wake up and wonder how in hell did we get this community organizer as President of these United States? How come we were so cursed?
And then I’m told that 65% of voters aged 18-29 voted for 0 and according to Gallup (ugly) “WHITE single, divorced, separated, unmarried, or widowed WOMEN” voted “OVERWHELMINGLY” for 0!!!!!!!
Married people vote GOP? No problem, we'll tear down marriage.
Prosperous people vote GOP? No problem, we'll import poor people.
Independent people vote GOP? No problem, we'll legislate away your independence.
Educated people vote GOP? That's a tough one. Here's what we'll do: we'll take over the schools, so that those getting educated only hear our propaganda.
Employed people vote GOP? Not when they are government or union jobs.
Why is it surprising that white women are Republicans? The Republican Party doesn’t treat us like useless victims, too stupid to get an education, a job, to care for a family, or to make choices which benefit - not destroy - the helpless. It’s not a surprise to me, at all. (I’m one of those “white women” Republicans, BTW.)
This is good information and if true, I hope the ratio increases even more substantially in our favor.
nothing surprising about this
white christian and/or married women typically vote this way
some exceptions...Carter...Toon..
where da white women at?
“Later she said two conservative female representatives only serve to further “repulse women.”
I can not think of a female humanoid form more repulsive than Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The new definition of butt ugly, with a grating voice that reminds me of fingernails on a chalk board.
I remember reading somewhere that women actually voted slightly more for Nixon in 1960 than JFK-it’s one of the facts the media doesn’t bring up—like the fact that the under 30 vote in 1972 went to Nixon over McGovern.
“White” women can’t have it both ways; they can’t pass as conservative while supporting women’s job fairs, token hiring, gov’t. grants for female-owned businesses, etc.. The biggest problem they have now is the determination of the other “protected” classes to shut down these programs, using the logic that these women have the same advantages as “white” men (gold flakes on their morning toast, family foundations funded by 987,000 years of slavery, etc.). White women will be steadfast conservatives when they see how the white males growing up now are clones of the urban welfare males, with all that entails. As these women have to shoulder more responsibilities, and their life resembles that of the current “white male” (60 hour workweeks, never seeing your children, etc.) and their life expectancy falls to that of their male counterparts, they will react. Don’t look for anything until then.
