Prediction of post-election analysis.

First, I think Obama will win; Dems hold the Senate; and gain a lot of seats in Congress. Nothing earthshaking there. But in the following months, as the election is analyzed, there will be something starkly evident: a lot of women voters voting for democrats. I think this will be attributed to striking back at the republican's war on women. Perhaps the republicans will reflect that they went too far. I doubt that... past history would suggest the repubs figure they didn't go far enough and will double down in the future.

Women. And until they can do that, the right wing media will urge their viewers to be violent against women in order to punish them for their vote.

But it's quite likely the Becks, Savages, and Limbaughs on the right will start dog whistling for violence against women at the polls.
