Almost every woman I know who votes GOP is white, heterosexual, married and religious.

I can't think of any single women I know who vote GOP. I know of no gay women who vote GOP. The republican voters I know overall seem to be white males, college educated and non-college, white women married to college educated or non-college males....many of the women stayed home for long periods of time during their lives and focused on raising their children, or if they held jobs it was usually part time work. Very few of them completed college or if they did, they were married soon out of college.

I'll be blunt, most women I know who vote republican do not seem to be as smart as the women I know who vote for Democrats. The small few who I know are smart seem to have religion play a big part in their lives. I also know several women who turned into republicans only after they married.

The biggest factor I can point to is they are married to white males and religous.
