Reality Check
This is for the media, as they don’t seem to have anyone capable of doing any research.
This is from the Bureau of the Census: Voting and Registration in the Election of November 2004, Table 2. Reported Voting and Registration, by Race, Hispanic Origin, Sex, and Age, for the United States: November 2004
Looking at the figures for people in the US, 18 years of age and over:
There are more women than men: 51.87%
Looking at only US citizens that increases to 52.21%
Looking at registered voters it goes up to 53.26%
And when it came to actually voting in 2004 it goes up to 53.51%
In summary, there are more women, a higher percentage of women are eligible to vote, even more take the time to register, and they are more apt to actually vote.
Women are not a special interest group, they are the majority you need to win an election in the US.

Good. That means I won’t have to vote then.
Frankly, I don’t think anyone wins anything when “consultants” try to “sell” candidates like they were snack food, attempting to appeal to specific demographics.
I’m out of the process and just commenting on the stupidity.
