Dumb women for Bush?

Are women on the East Coast smarter because they like John Kerry? Are women in the Midwest dumber because they don't like Kerry as much?

I wrote an article this week about how women are not supporting Kerry at the same level as they supported Al Gore in 2000. Citing a series of polls done for Knight Ridder and MSNBC, I noted that Kerry's support from women was lagging in Missouri and Ohio, two battleground states. Consequently, Kerry was trailing Bush in those states.

One woman who read the article in Philadelphia did not think it was news.

"I don't understand how it's anything new in the states you are citing," she said in a voice message left at my office. "Everyone knows Missouri, Ohio, that's going to be the polls there.

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter had a different take. The trend made her "proud" of her gender, she said.

I just don't know where to start...

At the beginning.

[Sally'sConcerns]

Obviously the woman in Philadelphia feels far superior to the poor, uneducated slobs who would dare to vote for President Bush. Her superiority complex indicates to me just how ignorant she truly is.

a DUMB Dum opens her mouth to show the world that the term "useful idiot " is still valid.

Let us start here..with this statement

""Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

[Guillermo]

Of course, if a woman doesn't vote for Kerry, she is "stupid."

But, to them, it figures that the Evil White Male supports Bush.

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

I didn't know that John Kerry was on the presidential ballot for these smart women to vote for before 2004? And if he loses, you would have to be an idiot to think he will ever get the nomination again. Gee, this is one very smart woman.

[YOUGOTIT]

They evidently want to be part of an Islamic harem, because if Kerry wins and the terrorist take over their freedom is gone.

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

Dumbass bimbo.

[AmericanMade1776]

By East Coast, does she mean the East Coast of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia?

[mewzilla]

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

Sounds like Kerry's sister to me.

[Jagdgewehr]

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

More educated and willfully ignorant.

[AmericanMade1776]

And by Claiming they are all Smarter on the East Coast, does that mean the Women on the West Coast are less educated than the Women on the East Coast.

[SuziQ]

"Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will."

Elitist twit! I'm educated, and I live in MA, but I've never voted for Kerry and never will! But I'm also not FROM MA, I'm originally from MS, so that may explain my orneriness! ;o)

[areafiftyone]

Its just too darn early in the morning for that stuff!!! UGH!!! MY POOR EYEEEEES!!

[speedy]

It may ultimately be this condescension that kills the Rats as much as anything. More and more, their whole arguments come down to insults and name calling. The GOP has won the majority of voters with a college degree in every election since 1964. BTW, my wife is from the East Coast, has a Master's Degree, and is voting for Bush with great enthusiasm.

[facedown]

...Ann Coulter had a different take. The trend made her "proud" of her gender,...

Annie's a noun now? Oh, maybe she's a verb.

[AmericanInTokyo]

And the one on the right has been successfully dieting, at that!

[JustaCowgirl]

Those of us who are more educated on the East Coast, women, are going to vote for Kerry. We always have. We always will.

Maureen, Helen, Terayza.... is that you?
