everyone who says "women won it for McAuliffe" is lying. BLACK women did it. white women voted for cuccinelli.

1. Yeah, 'cause white women just love being probed. Yeah, that' it.

[Jester Messiah]

2. How dare they vote in their own interest!?

Pathetic. Just pathetic.

[HappyMe]

3. Oh no!! Where are all the black women tea party members!!1

Oh......wait...

[Kurska]

4. BS, if McAuliffe got no white votes (men or women) he wouldn't have won.

We have a coalition of progressive voters from every races and we need every single one of them to win. That is what makes us so different from the republicans.

5. Because they want free stuff?

Isn't that how this story goes?

[ohheckyeah]

6. I'm a white woman and I

didn't vote for Cuccinelli.

10. White women voted for Cuccinelli? More BS.

[HappyMe]

11. I would be willing to bet that some did.

[FSogol]

13. Ok, at least one did. Happy?

This OP is intended to diminish McAuliffe's win and bash white women in VA. Truly pukeworthy.

[HappyMe]

14. I didn't get that from the OP.

I think it's a huge mistake for Dems to assume that women aren't repubs or tea baggers.

I'm glad I didn't have to vote in VA. I would have to vote for McAuliffe, but he's far from a stellar candidate.

From the few pictures of tea bag rallies, the attendees are mostly white men and women.

15. Women put McAuliffe over the top. They voted for McAuliffe in larger numbers than Cuccinelli.

Saying that Cuccinelli lost because only minorities supported McAuliffe is a right wing tactic intended to dismiss Democratic wins.

[HappyMe]

16. Okay, fine.

I'm not up on rw tactics. What's the point of 'dismiss Democratic wins'. Seriously, who cares if they dismiss it or not. It's a fact - they lost. They can dismiss it til the cows come home.

Around here, simple disagreement gets called rw tactics sometimes.

17. Exit polls. White women voted R.

A 4% gender gap is trivial.

[mathematic]

12. Or black MEN

Since they voted for McAuliffe for essentially identical % as black women (90%/91%).

http://www.nytimes.com/projects/elections/2013/general/virginia/exit-polls.html

This is all very stupid. The R had 6% more support from men than women and the D had 6% more in the other direction. And that's fairly typical.

The most interesting thing about that the exit polling is that 15% of the under 30s voted for the libertarian. That seems very high and all the other age groups were at about 6% for the libertarian.
