Women strong for Obama in battleground states
Submitted by R. Neal on Fri, 2008/10/03 - 2:13pm.
From a press release: "The gender gap evident in national polls on the 2008 presidential race is also visible in key battleground states, according to the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) weekly analysis of the women's vote. A review of recent polls in 14 states where the contest is expected to be very close finds gender gaps in every state; in each case, women voters support the Democratic ticket more strongly than men do. Even where voters overall are equally split or favor the Republican ticket, a majority of women voters favors the Democrats."

Maybe, but this time Democrats were supposed to split over Hillary and Republicans were supposed to pick up those votes and just for insurance to seal the deal they put Palin on the ticket.
Doesn't appear to be working.
But we'll see. This is going to be the longest month in American political history.
Women are breaking Democrat.
Men are breaking Republican.
Status Quo: Intact.

While October, 2008 is certainly going to be interesting, I'd say January 1861, as the entire Union collapsed, was a longer month politically.
(Yeah, I know, its not quite the same thing.)
you have money riding on the exact size of Obama's electoral victory.
Another master of low expections weighs in.
assuming the "master of low expectations" was aimed at me.
I can rub and scrub
'Til this house shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car
Powder my face at the same time
...
Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
Help us out here men, Obama's got to WIN!
