Is there a gender gap between Bush and Kerry?
If so, I haven't heard anything about it. God, I hope so.

5. Your implication being that women are weak
It's kind of hard not to be offended by such a bigoted remark. Remember we are the party of inclusion. Leave that close minded stuff to the Republicans.

14. my hate of gwb
causes my blood to boil.In doing so I gave no thought to insulting him.I should have put more thought into it. Instead of being humorous I came across as being as hateful as them. My apology is sincere.

16. Women are smarter with strategy...am I off?
when I argue with a man, we will argue politics for hours but settle nothing. Many times I will learn exactly when the Republican I am arguing with last voted for a Democrat, but I rarely convince him to support my candidates or views. Most Republican wachos I talk to have just as little impact on my vote and political views, but when I discuss politics with a woman my experience is much different. I don't discover their political views initially, however they usually learn my views first. Often they understand why I vote Democratic, and find out who specifically I support politically. Just to know my responses, she lists flaws of my candidates, party, and political views. Then I spend most of my time justifying my political views talking to women I know, but I dumbly spend no time asking them about their views, their ideas, or their candidates during this election. Maybe it has to do with my age and personality, or maybe politics is just interconnected with so many other wrong subjects. But believe me...men act like even bigger fools when talking about politics in front of women!

Politics is in some ways like marriage..you don't know him until after you're married, and even then you still don't really know each other...for a few years hee Haw! :scared: So who is my wife really voting for this November?

2. yes, women are more likely to oppose Bush's policy than men
Learned that today. So, I guess women are smarter than men in one aspect.

6. Any statistics?
Some percentages would be a good thing.

I can't believe women can't see through that smirk and swagger. He's got that "I just want to fuck you and dump you", look on his face.

13. Look at the detail on the
daily polls that are posted here. Many of them break the vote into region, religion, sex, etc.

11. I've seen some poll data...
...suggesting that unmarried women favor Kerry over Bush, but with married women it's the other way around.
