Getting past her rude comment, and I totally disagree with Coulter on
this issue; she is wrong. Take for example 2004 election, it was
pretty much split down the middle with only 51% of the women voting
democrat and 48% voting Republican.


In a New York Times/CBS News poll conducted in July, a plurality, 46
percent, of married women who live in the suburbs said that if the
presidential election were held today, they would vote for a Democrat,
while 29 percent said they would vote for a Republican.
