Why women vote the way they do

by Bruce Bartlett

A follow up post in which I posed the question of why women vote the way the do.

Interesting comments in the link to Bartlett above.  One said that the gender gap is mostly about race.

What I get from it is that people vote according to who they are more than anything else.  It would seem that almost all of the vote depends on factors that are predetermined before the election.

Yet, it seems that the candidate is important too.  If the above were taken to the logical extreme, you could nominate an old yellow dog in each party and still get the same result.
