I can't for the life of me figure out why allegedly, according to this exit poll, men are only 47% of the electorate, women 53%. What's gotten to the men of this country that they don't show up to vote? Traditionally, men as a group were more interested in politics than women. So do these numbers represent some wussification factor? Or was the exit polling sampling a bit biased toward women because they were slightly more likely to cooperate with the (predominantly female) exit pollsters. (I seem to recall that exit pollsters' oversampling of women early on Election Day in 2004 gave raise to false MSM reports that Kerry was beating Bush handily.)

At any rate, male participation in these elections seems to be decreasing with time. Attracting more men to the polls will, in general, help the GOP cause (gender gap, stupid), but I'm sure the RNC isn't interested in such efforts because they're afraid of being called sexist if they go in that direction.

The number of real mean are rapidly decreasing. The metrosexual is too interested in fashion accessories and spa treatments to have time to waste on anything outside himself like voting. Then there's the increasing number who hide out in their mama's basements playing video games 24/7.

Women live slightly longer, and older voters are (by and large) more likely to vote.
