Ron Paul Polls at 7% In Nevada...but

[curtisag]

He is only polling at 2% among women. His polling among men is a whopping 12%! The campaign must try to figure out why women are turned off on his message.

I am a woman, and Ron Paul turns me on.

Abortion, entitlement programs, aggressive foreign policy. I don't really know how to fix it.

Have you ever wondered why it is that women are the majority in this nation but men are the majority of elected officials? It's because a majority of women don't vote. Don't worry about it.

Lol, we need to worry about it man.

Especially considering Paul is THE anti-war candidate, a message that usually resonates with moms around the country. There's a good amount of voters that remain untapped.

They are falling for the macho war talk, and they dont like the pro-life issue the RP supports.

Last I recall, more women voted for President in 2004 than men, 51% to 49%, reflecting their larger percentage of the population.

Yes me too. LOL

But I think it could be the abortion issue. Personally I am against all abortions but I would not want to impose my views on other women - unless of course we're talking about late-term of which I am rapidly opposed.

One way to win over support from women is to emphasize the Tax Free Tips Act; women make up a disproportionate number of wait-staff, housekeepers, and hair stylists -- all people with those jobs rely on tips to survive (and sometimes even thrive). RP's campaign store has a new slim jim for tips.

Mentioning the likelihood of a draft under a neo-con president might sway some female voters, since it will be their children who will be forced to fight in Iran, Pakistan, and anywhere else that needs to be force-fed democracy.

Another avenue is the huge Mormon population in Nevada; if we can get the LDS behind the champion of the Constitution, then we will cut into a lot of Mitt's support.

I think Ron Paul needs to stress that the only way to continue to afford making payments to social security is to cut back our empire. He must stress he doesn't want to put anyone out in the street that has become dependent on the gov.

What GOP candidates have the most female support?

Mitt. He has more women supporting him than men. All other Republican candidates have more men supporting them than women, and Ron Paul has the highest male:female ratio in almost all polls that release the cross tabs.

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

Women might vote for Hillary just because she's a woman. Yes, there are actually women out there that have told me this.

Oh man...so many worms...

how many more cans of these need to be opened up?

Women basically like big government. Men (real ones anyways) don't.

 

[curtisag]

Mitt loves the women, especially multiple ones at the same time .

That was a low blow, I know .

I bet those same women you can ask them "What are Mitt's policies you like?" And couldn't get a straight answer.

Hannity just interviewed Zogby and Rasmussen

Amongst all my female friends (10 or so) only myself and another one of us is interested in politics and what's happening in this election. It's frustrating and sad actually - but we're busy Mom's. Often times women (that I know anyway) vote the way their husbands do. Maybe that'll help us

I was just driving home and had Hannity on the radio (I know, it's a habit and it's a riot ) He was interviewing Zogby and Rasmussen, one of them brought up Ron Paul and said we're all in for a surprise in New Hampshire! They said we all should be watching Ron Paul, watch him get a LOT of Independent votes and could get upwards of 18% in NH. They sounded very serious and excited about it, Hannity of course was (screaming inside) thinking of something witty to say to try and blow it off, something like... 'but you don't think he CAN win do you?' LOL I thought it was pretty funny, but also interesting. They were talking about Ron Paul and Obama competing for the Independent voters.

 

[curtisag]

Women are voting for Mitt because he looks manly? What other reason could they possibly have?

 

[Danny Molina]

Yes me too. LOL

Even though i'm not a woman I concur. Late-term abortions are barbaric to say the least.
