I thought my wife was the only woman who asserted as a general proposition that women voters were leading to the downfall of democracy.
I hate to sound sexist, but honestly... Back when Bubba was in, how many times did you hear women coo over him, etc...? Never mind what he did.
Women just decide things differently. They tend to trust their "instincts" on people. And some people (Bubba in particular) can play them like a fiddle. (eg. "Feeling" their pain, etc...)
Remember, Dole won the male vote in 1996.
Men had a better clue than women what was up then.
Having emotion, not reason, drive politics is a great way to destroy a civilization.
