In today’s NY Times, Kate Zernike looks at the importance of women voters in this election and their voting history in past elections. With the exception of single mothers and/or black women, women are traditionally a toss up vote. The following chart shows some really interesting trends---thought y’all might be curious.
On another note, I really like the Rob Reynolds article Mr. Bartz referenced below me. I pretty much ignored the whole makeup/pig thing, because I thought it was stupid. But both my grandmother and mother called me last week, wanting to talk about. That’s not even an issue and I don’t think it even deserves our time. Now that I’ve said that, let me completely double back and see if anyone’s seen the SNL sketch where Tina Fey does a dead on impersonation of Palin? Brilliant!
