Women make Dems nervous

[DrLeftover]

1 Nov

WASHINGTON — Democrats are nervously counting on an enduring edge among female voters in most states to prevent a Republican rout in Tuesday’s elections. Yet so great is the uncertainty that even before the returns are in, some are second-guessing the party’s strategy of focusing more on issues like abortion and birth control than on jobs and the economy.

The danger for Democratic candidates is that their advantage among women could be so reduced by dissatisfaction with President Obama and the country’s course that it is not enough to offset Republicans’ usual edge among the smaller population of male voters. Should that happen, a party pollster, Geoff Garin, acknowledged, “They’ll lose.”

But he and other Democratic strategists professed optimism, however tempered, for the party’s imperiled Senate majority, among other things. Mr. Garin pointed to surveys of states with the most competitive Senate contests showing that on average Democratic candidates lead among women by about 12 points, while men favor the Republican by an average of nine points. Since women account for more than half the electorate, Democrats theoretically can withstand some erosion of support.

Its' not taking anyone's words out of context, Liberty, its' simply using one of Saul Alinsky's basic rules, namely making the enemy play by its' own rules (and the corollary to that, use their words against them).

Fascinating.

According to that logic, Republicans are out to Kill, and then Deep Fry, women, for fun and profit.

Don't tempt them on that one, Doc...given who some of the Republican - and conservative - leaders are at present, they might actually try something like that.

Its more like women who vote republican are armed to shoot the fleeing democrat chickens as the feathers fly.

Isn't it interesting to see how, rather than representing some real points and sticking to them, they're a populist organisation bent on staying in power by choosing to represent whatever's popular?
