Here's my two cents worth on the women's issue:

I recall hearing a preacher on the radio say it was a mistake to give women the right to vote. Women want security and will vote security. Men have failed them and not provided them that security.
I was really fuming when I heard that and changed the channel. Then I started thinking there is a kernel of truth in that.

In California, it was touted that Gore got the majority of the women's vote. (My gut reaction was, that preacher could be right.) Then, they broke out the demographics. The majority of married women voted for Bush, while it was the single women, especially single mothers, that voted for Gore.

Single mothers tend to look for government to take care of them, instead of providing for themselves or having sense and/or fortunate of marrying a good man, who will help support them and their kids.

This could also not be a gender issue, in that applies to anyone "group" who gets dependent on the government.

OK. Let me have it.

Women also tend to be less rational and this gives them the urge to be compassionate with others peoples money and fall for the "feel good" rhetoric of Dems. While Im sure married women voted Repub in higher % then single women I bet its less than even single men.

"The majority of married women voted for Bush, while it was the single women, especially single mothers, that voted for Gore."

Don't forget that single women include a large proportion of WIDOWS who have been convinced by the media that conservatives want to take away their Social Security.
