She’s a fat, drunk, cankled, old hag. The road to nowhere.
Non-Hispanic white women voted for Romney 56%-42%. Whites voted for Romney 59% to 39%. In fact whites voted for Romney across all age groups and gender.
How are you classifying FL? Solid Dem, leaning Dem, or in play?
From your keyboard to God's ears!!
Stop. Her. Now.!
If she runs she wins...
That’s something nobody here wants to hear but its a fact.
Not if we swift boat her first.
I’d pay big $ to support an independent ad campaign against her. A few seconds at crucial points of Juanita broadderick’s video of telling how she was raped by bill, and Hillary “thanking” Juanita for staying quiet. That could be a CHILLING ad.
There are many ads before you even get to Benghazi.
If she runs she wins...
That’s something nobody here wants to hear but its a fact.
I agree with you - it seems inevitable, but then again, I thought she had it locked up last time.
Unless we counter with a woman of our choosing.

People who love Hillary REALLY love her. It’s a sickness.
“Non-Hispanic white women voted for Romney 56%-42%. Whites voted for Romney 59% to 39%. In fact whites voted for Romney across all age groups and gender.”
That isn’t a huge difference; it helps, but what are the other 42% thinking? I suspect many of them are employed by the gubmint (teachers & such)...
Actually it is a huge difference. Anything over 10% is considered a landslide.
You have to put these numbers into context. Women in general voted for Obama 55-44. They comprised 53% of all voters. White woman voted 56-42 for Romney, but they comprised only 38% of the electorate.
Black women voted for Obama 96-3; Latino women 76-23 for Obama; and all others (Asians, mixed races, etc.) 66-31 for Obama. Black women comprised 8% of the electorate; Latino women 6%, and other women 5%. Thus, minority women comprised 19% of the electorate compared to white women who were 38% of the electorate.
When we hear about the War on Women and the GOP's problem with women voters, it has to be placed into context. The GOP problem is primarily with minority women. They are winning the women's vote among white women handily. We are really entering an era of tribal politics. IMO the GOP should be concentrating on winning more of the white women's vote than all of these efforts on outreach to the minority community. White women make up 38% of the electorate--twice the percentage of minority women in the electorate.
White men voted for Romney 62-35 and they comprised 34% of the total electorate.
That is a genius simple print ad. Or even better - a billboard.
We need to start yesterday.
I thought the primary indicator of how white women voted was wheter or not they were married.
The CNN exit polls do not break it down by race, just marital status. According to the results, married women voted 56-42 for Romney and single women voted 62-35 for Obama. Married women comprised 60% of the women voting and singles were 40%. Coincidentally, white women voted 56-42 for Romney, the same percentage as married women in general.
I would ascribe race as being more predictive on how white women voted rather than marital status. Given data from the 2010 census, we know that 41% of black women have never married compared to 20.6% of whites. 35.6% of black women are married compared to 57.9% for whites. As far as black women are concerned, they voted 96% to 3%, so marital status is not relevant for them as far as voting is concerned.
I am not discounting marital status as an important variable. But whether it is the most important and predictive is still iffy in my mind.
In the VA governor's race, by a landslide 42 points, unmarried women favored Democrat Terry McAuliffe over his Republican challenger in the Virginia governor’s race, exit polling shows. 67 percent of unmarried women (single, divorced, widowed, or separated) voted for McAuliffe as compared to just 25 percent for Cuccinelli. 50 percent of married women voted for Cuccinelli, as compared to 41 percent of married women who supported McAuliffe.
I would have to do more research to see if there is a further breakdown of how single women and married women voted by race. Maybe it is not PC to make such breakdowns, especially if the racial component skews the data. Black women comprised 8% of the total electorate in 2012 compared to 38% for white women. But that 8% voted 96% for Obama, which can skew the data for single women. 53% of the total electorate were women so black women were 15% of the total women's vote.
And there are other reasons that single white women voted for Obama than marital status. They could be Democrats. Party affiliation is a variable. How did independent single women vote? Romney won the independent vote 50-45. And then there is age. Romney won every age group 40 and up. Obama took the 18 thru 39 group, which has the biggest proportion of single women. How much of a factor were social issues like gay marriage and abortion?
The bottom line is that we need more data to determine how important marital status was as compared to other variables.
“The bottom line is that we need more data to determine how important marital status was as compared to other variables.”
I defnitely agree.
