LOL, get real, you don’t have a point.

You keep pushing that women did not vote for Richard Nixon in 1960 instead of JFK, but that is the undeniable fact, on the flip side men did vote for JFK in that election.

Every article that needs to use that information will, because it is accurate.

By the way, the voting patterns have not changed much over the 100 years that you mention, except for blacks, who voted one way from 1870 until 1932, and then suddenly and permanently reversed themselves in 1936.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS: STRATEGIES AND STRUCTURES OF AMERICAN POLITICS

Page 26

This page from google books has a very comprehensive table on the male-female GOP-Dem voting percentages for every presidential election from 1960 onward. The numbers are very interesting. In 1960 women voted 51%GOP, 49%Dem. That is what could be called a margin of error. It certainly is not a significant difference, although you are correct. Women voted in a higher percentage for Nixon.

I wasn't pushing any position about the Nixon-Kennedy election. I replied to your original comment that I personally do not use the Washington Post to validate any point that I make on this or any forum.

I wrote that I was for Nixon and my friend was for Kennedy to give you some idea that I was old enough to be aware of the political scene in 1960. Where we went to school I was a marked minority in my Nixon preference, but that could have been because it was a Catholic school.
