Yeah, but Clinton’s promiscuous past was not verified until AFTER he won re-election. The whole Lewinski scandal blew up after Clinton was sworn back into office.
Before that there were unconfirmed rumors of possible infidelity that he and Hillary adamantly denied. (Yes, she stood by her man.)
Unlike Gingrich, Dole only had two wives - neither of which he cheated on. But Dole lost big in the general election.
But like I said, who really thinks we need moderate women voters to win in the general election anyway??
Everyone knew about Clinton’s promiscuity in 92 and in 96. Maybe not the speifics on Monica. But everyone knew he was a hound dog. And Clinton would have beaten W in 2000 even after the Monica stuff came out if he could have gone for a 3rd term.
I agree with you in general. I think if the economy is bad enough it won’t matter, though. Just as it didn’t in 92. Clinton wouldn’t have won with a good economy.
Moderate women didn’t like Sarah Palin, once married mom of five beautiful children.
So much for “moderate women.”
Most woman wont answer that phone again once they realize they were just a booty call the first time.
"In 2008, Obama won 56 percent of the women vote, 13 points more than won by Republican Sen. John McCain, according to the national exit poll. Four years later, support for Obama and Democrats among women has dropped off sharply.
During the 2010 midterm elections, for example, women divided evenly for Democratic and Republican House candidates — 49 percent to 49 percent — the best showing for Republicans among women in a national U.S. House vote since 1982."
Recent polling show their numbers could be at record lows for 2012.
