An idiot works for the New York Times (Sheila Dewan). Says single women vote "up for grabs"
She says today that the single-woman vote is "up for grabs". She also notes that Obama leads by 29% among these voters.
Please let her know via Twitter that she needs to change her career or re-enter journalism school:

As much as Ms. Sheradin is up for grabs in this election, so too are the legions of unmarried women who helped lift Mr. Obama to victory in 2008. Single women are one of the country’s fastest-growing demographic groups — there are 1.8 million more now than just two years ago. They make up a quarter of the voting-age population nationally, and even more in several swing states, including Nevada.
And though they lean Democratic — in a recent New York Times/CBS News poll, single women favored Mr. Obama over his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, by 29 points — they are also fickle about casting their ballots, preoccupied with making ends meet and alienated from a political system they say is increasingly deaf to their concerns.
The evidence that the vote is "up or grabs"? Some lady the NYT chose as an anecdote (picture included in article) says she's undecided. Yes. That's the foundation of this claim.
