one might have thought that single young women would be interested in a prosperous economy with lots of jobs and business opportunities for them to pursue?
there’s something wrong with this picture...
(or maybe the R party was just abysmally terrible at communicating one of its strongest campaign messages — restoring the American economy and jobs again ? )
It seems seriously doubtful that more than a few single young women really want a life on the dole ... even with free Obamaphones thrown in... ??????
You’re vastly overestimating the intellectual horsepower of the majority of today’s young women.
I’ve met many of them in my travels. Most have no higher thoughts about “big subjects” at all. Everything is driven by emotion and “feelings,” and their ability to do any sort of mathematics is nearly nil. Those stupid magazines you see in the checkout line at Wally World aren’t exercises in disposing of glossy paper. They publish that pablum because it *sells*. And it doesn’t sell to middle aged white males. Or middle aged females. Or elderly folks. Those magazines are going after the 17 to 35 age bracket of single women.
Republicans (and conservatives) continue to make this mistake around female voters: The campaign strategists keep believing that women “think about the issues.”
Wrong. The vast majority of women “feel,” they don’t “think.” Some married female voters might start thinking, if only because they’ve been around one man long enough to know that not everything every damn day is about their feelings, and they’ve had their husband explain this to them - more than once.
