As we enter into the final weeks of the 2014 campaign season, Democrats are doubling their efforts to try and mobilize single women to vote this year. As Rothman wrote this past summer, single women voters are the biggest obstacles Republicans face when it comes to retaking the Senate (via National Journal) [emphasis mine]:
The “gender gap”—the difference between Republicans’ usual margin of victory among men and Democrats’ usual margin of victory among women—is nothing new. It has been evident for years in almost every election up and down the ballot. But a National Journal analysis of public polls, and interviews with strategists from both parties, suggests that the gap has ballooned to historic proportions across 2014′s battleground states. Democrats are running campaigns designed to press an advantage among women that is helping the party compete in a number of races despite an unfriendly political climate and steep GOP advantages among men. Meanwhile, Republicans are searching for issues to combat the trend with female voters.
“I think the gender gaps are growing compared to past election cycles,” said Matt Canter, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s deputy executive director. “We’ll see how that turns out, but that’s certainly what the public and internal polling shows, in every race across the board.”
It’s a trend several Republicans privately admitted they are watching nervously, though some point out that one end of the growing gap isn’t bad news for the GOP. “I haven’t seen gender gaps like this in any race until this year, and we’re seeing them all over the place,” said Nicole McCleskey, a New Mexico-based Republican pollster for Public Opinion Strategies. “Typically people say we’re in bad shape with women, but it’s also that Democrats are not doing well with men. That’s why the gap is exploding like it is.”
In other words, war on women reloaded. One thing that is positive about the “war on women” narrative is that a majority of women see it as more of a “political gimmick” than something that’s actually grounded in reality. Additionally, even Democratic pollsters are seeing negative feedback from such campaign strategies, with women calling them politically cheap and divisive.
Nevertheless, in some states, it’s still being used. Sen. Kay Hagan, who is fighting for her political life, threw some major punches towards her Republican opponent, Thom Tillis, over his record on women’s health in their first debate. Sen. Mark Udall in Colorado has employed war on women tactics, but it seems to not be gaining the traction some on the left had hoped it would get, especially as Election Day approaches.
In some races women are split evenly between the two candidates. In Kentucky, women split 47/46 between Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes and Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell. In fact, McConnell’s lead is due to his 10+ point lead with men, which is a voting bloc where Democrats are hemorrhaging support and don’t have much of a strategy to win them back, much to the dismay of some left-leaning analysts. In these tight races, the male vote seems to be what matters on the margins.
Right now, Republicans are expected to win Montana, West Virginia, and South Dakota. They need three more to win the majority.
The SWF vote (Stupid White Females).
The thing is ... it’s a big d**n line.
Single women and the Rat party.
A classic case of battered woman syndrome...
“But he only does it because he loves me”.......
And they will accuse Republicans of a “war on women” even as the democrat Attorney General of Virginia has determined that abortion providers do NOT have to report the statutory rape of underage girls seeking abortions.
“Democrats are doubling their efforts to try and mobilize single women to vote this year.”
A last-ditch appeal to the Uncle Sugar, single women group, part of the Dims’ gibsmedat coalition.
Despite the incompetence of the Republicans, the Dims are going to have to get historic levels of dead voters to the polls to prevent a bloodbath next month. But if anyone can do that, the Dims can.
Yo single women. Vote democrat if you want to watch your children bleed out or drown in their own bodily fluids from diseases imported to America by wide open democrat border policies.
Since you’ve been “liberated” to spend your life alone, you will need the government too take care of you. Vote Democrat ...and give us a chunk of your paycheck for our services.
Yes, vote Democrat, so before he abandons you for a gay lover, he can pressure you to have an abortion so not to have the responsibility of a child.
Yes, vote Democrat so your vote in the future can be taken by the illegal alien children flooding over our southern borders. Oh, and if you do have any children despite the abortion request by your future gay husband. Remember, illegal aliens will get any benefits before you or your children as the Democrats dearly want their illegal votes.
Oh, and don't forget, single women, that Obamacare tacks on huge premiums and deductibles if you work. And you know it is your civic duty to pay for others and the illegal aliens who will come before you and your children.
I almost forgot - Single Women - Obamacare means 29 1/2 work weeks for most young women. No benefits, alas! You'll have to work two or three jobs and pay childcare anyway.
So vote Democrat and see you and your children's lives go happily downhill. Vote for increased taxes and burdens on yourself and have an unproductive life to boot.
So many lines Republicans could use.
We love to treat women like ladies.
We honor motherhood.
Our daughters are our princesses.
...and yet they seem to eat it up.
Hell I’ll vote for a Dog before Ivote for a Demoncrat.
Yo, single women, show your “independence” by voting for government to take care of you instead of some “man”.
Yo single women - you’re going to die from Ebola or any number of infectious diseases courtesy of the Democrat Party, but please vote before and after.
Great minds think similarly. (Post #16)
You don't say...What's interesting about these photos below is that the crowd isn't deliberately segregated by sex, it's just that women -whether they be single or married - tend to vote more for the moron politician because they judge politicians on looks alone. Of course not all of them do, but enough were it is a problem. It's what my brother calls the "Justin Bieber effect". The music, or "message" comes secondary, all that matters is if the performer or the "candidate" is a pretty boy. This is why not one single solitary President has had facial hair since 1920 when women were allowed to vote. Our whole Presidential elections since then have been based on "who is the prettiest" and then we wonder why absolute America hating enemies of the US like Obama are elected twice.
"Oh Oh! It's him! It IS THE ONE!!"
Republicans are now working to appeal to young women, and it may be working.
Liberals are VERY angry about these new ads for Republican governor candidates:
