Women are voting republican because someone on the net uses "balls", really? They are ignoring republican vaginal probe legislation, votes against pay equity for women, the massive anti-women legislation being passed by republicans but, DAMN, they sure do notice comments using "balls" and make their voting decisions based on that, is that what you're saying?

about.

And by the way - Women vote for Democrats...
here... this is from the CSMonitor, a right leaning publication:

At the heart of the matter is the gender gap. Men and women have diverged in every presidential race since 1980. In 2008, Mr. Obama won 56 percent of the female vote (versus 43 percent for John McCain) and 49 percent of the male vote (to Senator McCain's 48 percent), for a seven-point gender gap. For now, Obama leads Mr. Romney among women in major polls – by 20 points in the latest Pew Research Center poll, fewer in others – and is tied or trailing Romney among men.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2012/0403/Gender-gap-daunting-for-GOP-Why-women-s-vote-is-key

And why are you bringing up skin color? What the heck does that have to do with anything??????
America is no longer a white country - GET OVER IT!!!

When Reagan said, "Government is not the solution it's the problem"...But he turned it into "Mitt Romney is not the solution he is the problem" WONDERFUL!!! I know that has to drive the Reagan worshipers NUTS!

And YES...No one can say Obama is not a fighter as that issue has been settled!
