"The president leads Romney, 49 percent to 45 percent, among likely voters in a Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday, buoyed by an 18-point advantage, 56 percent to 38 percent, among women."

Perhaps we should consider taking away women's right to vote. (KIDDING! sort of...) :)

Some women will gravitate towards a pansy because it emboldens them; hence, the support for Obama. But males voting for him? Gays, union workers, people with trust funds.... and that could be it.

Funny you should mention that; as politically incorrect as it is, I believe women's suffrage is much to blame for our current state of affairs WRT welfare. Before women's suffrage men voted as heads-of-households, that is for the family, [anyone who claims that this disenfranchised women has never seen a husband and wife interact]... but with women's suffrage voting became individual-centered rather than family-centered. Women are also somewhat predisposed to go with "safety" rather than risk, so they as-a-group tend[ed] to be for welfare-type programs.

Actually you can trace the explosion of the welfare state back to women getting the right to vote. If I recall, before then the only thing even resembling welfare was a small government payout to the widows of Civil War soldiers. I not sure if it has to do with women's "mothering instinct" or what, but they seem to be much more accepting of socialism in the form of big government and social spending than men. (Of course I'm speaking in general terms, I know there are many conservative women who don't fit the profile).
