married women more likely to be pro-bush?
Okay, tasteless puns aside, this report from USA Today is quite interesting. A study has concluded that married women are more likely to support Bush over Kerry.
Also, according to the USA Today article, a group called Women's Voices, Women Vote has found that: ...while 68% of married women voted in 2000, just 52% of unmarried women did. The conclusion: Single women often felt their voices weren't heard and didn't count.
I take a couple of things from these studies. One, married women are probably voting the way they do for the same reasons my parents do... they are well off enough that they don't feel threatened for immediate resources, and in fact want to protect the wealth/resources they have gathered from those scary terrorists who want to kill them and those scary liberals who want to give their money to the poor. And two, unmarried women are a considerable segment of the population (about 22 million people) who could help Kerry get to the White House if they can be persuaded that their voices are important.
I think I might have an idea about how to spend some time over the next month...

Randomly found your blog. I like!
It's much better to give money to defense contactors and arms dealers than it is to waste it on poor people and their children.
