Clinton owes lead to support from women
msnbc ^ | 6/12/07

Posted on 06/12/2007 6:07:31 AM PDT by LouAvul

The consistent lead that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has maintained over Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and others in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination is due largely to one factor: her support from women.

In the most recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, Clinton led Obama by a 2 to 1 margin among female voters. Her 15-point lead in the poll is entirely attributable to that margin. Clinton drew support from 51 percent of the women surveyed, compared with 24 percent who said they supported Obama and 11 percent who said they backed former senator John Edwards of North Carolina.

Clinton is drawing especially strong support from lower-income, lesser-educated women -- voters her campaign strategists describe as "women with needs." Obama, by contrast, is faring better among highly educated women, who his campaign says are interested in elevating the political discourse.

Clinton draws support from female DEMOCRATIC voters, from single mothers on the dole and high school dropouts, from NEA members too.

We should encourage Paris Hilton to publicly declare her support for Hillary “I want to take that money” Clinton.

Slackers looking for handouts. Of course, the "Me want governement money" crowd, and Hillary is just the one to buy their votes.

Didn’t someone once say “If you rob Peter to pay Paul you’ll get Paul’s vote everytime.”

” a special needs woman” would also be useless eaters under a Bolshevik Regime.
