Day 1184 – Good News! Women are Dumb

Among the groups that picked Mitt Romney over Newt Gingrich (aside from the educated and affluent) were women. Prostitution enthusiast Dick Morris thinks that Mitt Romney’s high appeal to women voters bodes well for the general election. This tends to go against the South Carolina results where women voted for Gingrich over Romney, along with all the non-rich or moderately educated voters in the state.

More women voters in the Republican parties is a good thing. What’s not good is a net 14% loss of anyone voting in the Florida Republican primary. Negative ads work. So does sausage. What people may not want to see is that negative ads make people not want to vote. Even thought Florida is supposedly a microcosm for the rest of the country, the exit polling is very distorted from the slightly pro-Gingrich polls nationally. Were women more affected by the Florida ad bombing? Were men more affected by not showing up to vote? All we know is that fewer people bothered to show up.

Romney’s negative ads in 2008 made me despise him. I imagine it could do the same this year. This guy has got to get into a positive message. He’s not gaining Hispanics or women or anything right now. He’s just annoying people. Obama is going to lose plenty of voters. We don’t need Romney to lose even more.
