CNN on the ground in SC: Women are voting for Newt

[itsrobert]

No backlash from women over open marriage.

1. Wow. Eww. nt

[HopeHoops]

2. What the fuck? Okay, this makes no sense. Marriage is SO sacred, eh?

I can't express my true opinions of that situation without offending way too many people.

[JoePhilly]

3. Apparently, SC women know their place

[Jackpine Radical]

4. He's just so goddam sexy, ya know.

Lotsa SC women could probly see themselves cozying up to a nice, rich white guy. Who cares if he's a little chubby & ugly? Besides, you wouldn't actually have to fulfill your wifely duties with him, just steer him onto a little side action. It could be a marriage made in heaven.

5. Me in my chair: Rapists are voting for Newt too.

I guarantee there are a few. Probably some drug addicts too.

What kind of crap reporting is this? Did CNN really expect no women to vote for him?

[mucifer]

6. That's because he's repented for his sins.

7. They have a ton of "Phyllis Schafly's" there...I call it the life long "southern belle" syndrome...

Their entire self-worth is dependent on the men in their lives so that their denial factor is off the scale. Face it, women who support RETHUGS in all their misogynist "glory" and armed with all their ANTI-women policies have to have "issues."

It is incredible... but while intense in the South, there is a form of it among some women throughout the country. But as anyone who has spent time at the major southern collleges and universities know, it is literally "cultural" among so many women in the South.

8. They love his "bad boy" image

[Ron Green]

9. CNN's been on the ground for years.

It's time to dig a hole six feet deep and bury it.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Interesting how CNN gets the news that they want......

but then, we are talking about a corporate news station who truly believes that Wolf Blitzer has got it going on! ......

[no_hypocrisy]

10. Is it because the women are voting the way their husbands are telling them to vote?

Submission to the husband and all that?

[aaaaaa5a]

11. In the south cultural heritage and racism trump gender issues.

Even among women.

[Dawson Leery]

16. +1

[hallowell]

12. Family Values Voters

I always new the family values voters would line up behind Newt

[Jennicut]

13. These are Republican women. Also, I voted for Clinton in 1996.

And I am a woman. What does that make me? I think voters in general don't really care about issues in someone's marriage unless it was violence. They care about the ideas a person has. And its South Carolina. I have been to South Carolina. I don't need to say much more then that.

15. In an open marriage it goes both ways

the tide comes in, the tide goes out
