New Poll: Women voters will say yes to Canadidates who say no to Iraq
In Every Reagon, Americans - Especially Women Want Troops Brought Home


by Natl. Council For Research on Women


With the election rapidly approaching, candidates who favor getting American troops out of Iraq have a nearly three-to-one advantage among women voters over politicians who want to stay the course. That’s the message from a major new poll of registered voters released November 2, 2006. And, according to NCRW, the National Council for Research on Women, women voters are leading the electorate in demanding a pullout.

“This is across the board, in every section of the country, in cities and rural areas, across racial divides, American women say they’re ready to vote for get-out-of-Iraq candidates against stay-in-Iraq candidates, with a three to one preference for candidates who want to get the troops out of Iraq over those who want to keep the troops there,” according to NCRW President Linda Basch.

“This isn’t just in a few blue states,” Basch said.

“Candidates in every region will do better by calling for bringing the troops home than by advocating for staying the course. In the South—among all voters, women and men, it’s a two-to-one margin for the peace candidates. Even in the West, the margin is 51 to 30. In the Northeast, the margin is three to one for bringing the troops home,” according to Basch.

Black and Hispanic women are even more united in their opposition to the war. Among black women voters, 83 percent would vote for candidates who favor withdrawal from Iraq and only nine percent would vote to stay the course, a margin of nine to one. Among Hispanic women voters, the margin is 68 to 11, or six to one.

2. women tend to see through the "glory of war" bullshit

while a lot of men, particularly young men, can't. It scares me. War = hell. Isn't that FUCKING OBVIOUS?

7. my candidate figured this out

When he knocks doors, its always the women he talks to, only sometimes the men. The Rep women want to know what he thinks about Iraq & health care. Their husbands probably go sit on the toilet and listen to Rush.

sons and daughters, some woman's husband or brother.
