So how’s that whole contraception thing working out for the right? The latest Gallup poll of swing states suggests that it’s not going so well: Obama now leads Romney in these states 51%-42%.

Santorum to Women: Don't You Worry Your Pretty Little Heads about Birth Control

Rick Santorum is a wanker. A Tool. An Asshat. A very, very dangerous person living in a time warp. A sanctimonious right-wing nut job who gives Republicans a bad name, and Democrats a win in November. GO RICK!

Millenials Could be the Difference in 2012 Elections

noreply@blogger.com (ZaftigRedhead) — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 23:09:00 +0000

In the last four national elections, generational differences have mattered more than they have in decades. According to the exit polls, younger people have voted substantially more Democratic than other age groups in each election since 2004, while older voters have cast more ballots for Republican candidates in each election since 2006.

The latest national polls suggest this pattern may well continue in 2012. Millennial Generation voters are inclined to back Barack Obama for reelection by a wide margin in a match-up against Mitt Romney, the GOP candidate who has run the strongest versus Obama in many polls. In contrast, the oldest voters -- the Silent Generation -- are solidly behind Romney.

In between the youngest and the oldest voters are the Baby Boom generation and Generation X. Both groups are less supportive of Obama than they were in 2008 and are now on the fence with respect to a second term for the president. These, my friends, are the swing voters...the mushy middle the parties will fight 'til the death to get to the polls.

An Appropriate Response to GOP's All-Male Hearing on Women's Contraception

noreply@blogger.com (ZaftigRedhead) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:32:00 +0000

Last week, Rep. Darrel Issa held a Government Reform and Oversight Committee hearing on the contraception controversy. The good chairman, however, did not see the need to invite any WOMEN to talk about health care and birth control. The Democrats had a young woman witness selected, a student at Georgetown University who uses the Pill for health reasons additional to contraception. Chairman Issa would not allow her to testify. Instead he accepted a panel of men, all opposed to the Obama Administration's new rule, and those men testified against women's access to contraception. Talk about tone deaf. And insulting. And downright stupid. The GOP's concentration on taking away women's contraception is already galvanizing women voters, and will continue to do so through Election Day.
