Any analysis of the female vote - both black and white?
“Any analysis of the female vote - both black and white?”
I will say that they used up the shock value in trying to take Cain out now. So I think for the general election, these types of charges will be ignored, and there still may be a backlash as Tea Party people will get more and more angry.
As to white females, I think it will break the Reagan way. Cain is very much pro-life, so ugly, single, feminists will not vote for him. The happy, pretty, married women will support him. In the end, he might break even with women, while doing great with men.
It’s a tough call with black women, as we typically don’t lump them with the feminists, and they have their own set of problems. The biggest of which is that black men are, generally, useless - either they’re in jail, drugged/ganged out, or fathering kids all over. Cain may just reach those women and, essentially, let them know that he’s going to help black men clean up their act. They just may like him for that.
Females (FR females excluded) will vote for a proxy husband/father every time.
This is especially true for middle aged single or divorced females.
