I don't think you can be so general. Romney got more married women than did Obama, but fewer single women. Much of this was due to the manufactured "war on women" cooked up by slick liberal strategists, and you fell for it.
There is no war on women. I can't fall for something that I don't believe exists. Your kind of thinking however is what's going to push more and more women away. Obama talks about women's healthcare and continually and consistently fights for it. If healthcare is high on a woman's list when it comes to voting than voting for Obama isn't stupid, she isn't falling for some master plan he's concocted...she's just looking at the facts, he had already proven himself in that arena. Romney clearly hadn't.
I don't think that they, or you, are "Bimbo's" or anything of the sort. I do however believe that most of the single women vote we are talking about here going to Obama was due to a slick campaign by Obama's team, and targeted toward women between the ages of 18 to 35, single, and predisposed to vote liberal anyway. They were easily led by the promise of "free" stuff, including BC, and turned out masterfully by the Obama campaign. That doesn't mean that he BS spewed by the Obama campaign was correct, or truthful, but rather that Obama's campaign was better at targeting, and messaging....Don't conflate the two.
What free stuff? I don't see any of this free stuff and if that's what I wanted when I voted I would have first voted for McCain way back when because his plan actually might have benefited me. Like I said, I pay for everything myself and I pay taxes that go to pay for other peoples healthcare in my state and I see none of that money, would it be nice to benefit from that as well? Sure, but this idea that everyone who voted for Obama wanted free things is harmful it's flat out wrong, it ignores the actual reasons that most people voted for Obama and it causes a further divide between the GOP and those who might vote repub. in the future.
