I just can't see how any Republic woman would be thrilled to vote for Newt Gingrich.

I'm not saying that the demographic would stay home; I just think that there would be zero excitement on that end. Few GOP women would volunteer or help get out the vote; most would have deep reservations about seeing a President Gingrich in the White House.

I say this despite being male, and I don't mean to be sexist and belittle the political acumen of American women in either party. But it seems to me that while a conservative male voter might simply shrug away the ugly details behind Newt's three marriages, a female voter would find it hard to excuse such disgusting (and repeated) behavior towards women--especially since any potential Republican President these days seems to be championed as the decision-maker of reproductive rights.

As for crossover or independent female voters--forget about it.

1. Frankly I don't think Newt will be a factor. Just a gut feeling.

2. Have you never heard of the "femi-Newties"?
That is the name Pat Schroeder gave his conservative female supporters in the 1990s! LOL

4. Feel free to belittle the political acumen of these women-
stupidity and ignorance are not solely the domain of the male.

8. Obviously There Are Women Who Like Newt
He's been married umpteen times, had affairs galore, so some women must think he's hot. :puke:

10. They don't care.
They'll do what ever they are told to do and feel quite smug about it.

11. Uh, these are the same brainwashed women that support being treated like 2nd Class citizens.
They will do whatever their husbands and preachers tell them to.
