TRENTON -- Women voters, who polls show heavily favored Frank R. Lautenberg in this year's U.S. Senate race and who likely played an important part in his easy victory over Republican challenger Douglas Forrester, may hold the key to winning future elections in New Jersey.

Do women really look out the kitchen window and worry about the pregnant girl next door getting health care? If so, we're doomed as a country. (I don't think it's true.)
I like to think not, but that is precisely the message the Democrats have been tossing out for years now. And it's the evil Republicans who are starving kids and not allowing old people to have access to perscription drugs. That message seems to have been exposed as being pure BS in most of our country this past election day, but sadly there are some states, like New Jersey, where it still works.
No, we look out the kitchen window at the pregnant girl next door and say to ourselves, "well, she must be a little tramp like her mother."
I Don't! I think about how the Dems allowed it to happen!
GOP candidates, being selected for character and not appearances, sometimes lack the slick, greasy polish so favored by women. Bush, not being the used-car Dem salesman, is ridiculed for his mangling of the language, and the content of his message is lost on these fools.
Even Babs chose the most pathetic actor in history, James Brolin, over any other person of character. It is the Hollywood Liberal soccer-Mom obsession to live in the world of make-believe.
The GOP has an easy task. First, acknowledge that it must improve its appeal to women voters to remain in power. And then, just add a little more style and sizzle to the party message and the candidate positioning - the content is already there and cannot be masked or imitated.
So, you're saying if an unwed girl gets pregnant she and her mother are both tramps? What about her dad, sibs and grandparents? Make sure you use a football field sized drop cloth when you paint.
I love it! Great response.
There is the difference in republican women and dem women. Republican women want the three R's taught and taught well, democrat women want it all taught and don't care if it is well or not, as long as they don't have to be bothered with it.
"Just pop out a couple of kids and grab a gub'mint check" seems to the mantra these days, especially in the inner cities. There is no shame anymore in having a kid out of wedlock. Even high schools are catering to these tramps, setting up day cares and such. In fact, there is a junior high school in Boston that has a daycare. Yes, I'm talking about eighth and ninth graders with kids of their own. It's despicable.
As for the fathers of these kids, I'm all for tracking them down and making them financially responsible for the welfare of these kids. And if the father is a minor child living with his parents, the parents ought to be liable for child support until their son is able to get a job and assume the responsibility for himself. That will put a stop to a lot of this nonsense.
The vote tallies are skewed by including the black vote. 95 percent of blacks vote democrat, and the overwelming majority of black voters are female, which tends to mislead aggregate numbers when you mix in the black vote with the white vote. The problem is that 1/3rd of all black men are not allowed to vote.
If you look at the numbers of white men vs white women, and black men vs black women, they are nearly the same. In states and counties with few blacks, there is no gender gap.
White men voted 60/36 for Bush; white women voted 49/48 for Bush. That's a huge disparity, and we should try to figure out what we can do about it.
It may be a disparity, but your own source, shows that the majority of white women prefered Bush 49-48.
Your source backs up what I said that overall numbers are skewed by including blacks (most black voters being female) voted democrat for Gore 90% - 9% .
Quit knocking white women, who ARE republican, and who ARE conservative, and NOT liberal.
It is critical that as a party that we win the support of women, but far too many think elections are beauty contests.
