WOMEN propel Northam to win governorship in VIRGINIA
http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/07/politics/election-2017-latest/?lf-content=224762552:lb-post-bb23d56725990926fd2219ff3966a35e@livefyre.com&hubRefSrc=permalinkRalph Northam won in Virginia thanks in large part to women. He leads women by a broad 19 percentage points in Virginia, according to early exit polls.
What it means: That's essentially the same as Hillary Clinton's lead of 17 points among women when she won the state by 6 percentage points last November. It's up from Sen. Mark Warner's lead of 12 points in 2014 and Gov. Terry McAuliffe's lead of 9 points in 2013. Northam's margins are higher than Clinton's among subsets of women, like white college-educated women -- where he doubled her lead, 6 points vs. 12 points.

I heard all of the stories about more women getting involved.
Always a good thing. 
Now, if we can get more of those Repub women out from under their menfolks' thumbs, we could sweep '18.
Well played.
