cnn: Women voters: They're just not into it
really ladies?

cnn has more bad news for democrats....


+++++++++++++++++++++++

Fewer women than me(sic) are fired up about this election cycle, according to CNN's polling director Keating Holland. The dynamic could be bad news for Democrats. CNN's Samantha Hayes reports.

1. I don't have to be "fired up" to vote.
My responsibility to my citizenship does not need to be jumpstarted.

2. Same here--I might think that this is a so-so election year--
but in my state, I have to vote against Toomey; no matter whether Sestak has "lit my fire", Toomey is worse than Santorum. I need to vote to keep stuff from getting worse. I need to make sure Patrick Murphy, who is a straight-up ally against DADT remains my representative. I can't imagine that women need to be "fired-up" . They should be! There are too many anti-women's reproductive rights wingnuts all over the GOP slate. They need a good trouncing. And their policies will do nothing to create jobs--so once again, I see that as anti-woman, since we sometimes do have to make a living. I don't know what women need encouragement--but I can say I am as eager as I ever was to represent for the Dems.

11. Bingo. Just cause women aren't excited doesn't mean they won't vote.

4. Geeze. The MSM SOOOOOOOOO wants to see the Dems get trounced.
They're rubbing their hands with glee, absolutely salivating over the thought.

I hope we punk the assholes bigtime and keep control of both chambers.

Fuck you, MSM.

12. No they do not
As a member of the media, I have a secret for you... most MSM members are progressive. As well, if you didn't see how, on the whole, the media treated Obama fairly well you're just blind.

7. Hey, dammit, it is OUR fault.
Don't be blaming women for any possible Democrat losses. What about blaming the gays? Don't you love to hate us any more? :cry:

I love how several groups are being lined up ahead of time to take the fall for any losses that may occur. So far, the old "it's the gays' fault" standby has been covered, of course, and now women. I wonder who is next.

13. Yes, they are.
Not only that, they are making fools of themselves, once again. I don't know how some of them look themselves in the mirror, to be honest.
