This may not come as a huge surprise to poll watchers and seasoned political observers but I found this kind of interesting. If Obama wins, it will be largely due to the women of America. Follow me across the fold to see why...
Before I get myself into hot water (too late, you say?), let me add that there are TONS (I believe the technical term is a gazillion) of us male Obama supporters and the guys are doing phenomenal work. But take a look at the latest Gallup breakdown of voter preference by gender: Gallup Candidate Support by Gender.
Nationally, among men, this race looks like a toss-up but women are now breaking for Obama 54% to 38%! If only men were allowed to vote (as was the case until 1920) this race would be agonizingly, frighteningly, nail biting-ly close.
As we all know, this contest won't be over until election day and we all need to keep our eyes on the ball but I just wanted to stop and say a special thank you to the women of America, who are bringing this election home for Barack Obama and Democrats around the country. Way to go, ladies!
