I know women who vote Republican for a couple of reasons. One is religion. And the other is about money. Either they have stated openly that they think Democrats tax too much OR they think Republicans are perceived as having money and they want to identify with that. The less educated women who openly spout off anti-Obama slurs are the ones I think really even aren't registered to vote.

My neighbor claims to be a Republican and she's very Catholic and vocal about abortion. But she was so disgusted with Sarah Palin as a potential VP, I am convinced she voted for Obama by everything she said.

I have annoyed quite a few people by asking out loud HOW CAN ANY WOMAN VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN????!!!!
