outlook is the single strongest factor in choosing a partner (it is), what happens next? Right now it's about women 56% Democrat or leaning-Dem independent to 44% men.

Will that finally break the hold of white bigots who favor old-fashioned female roles on the GOP, with moderate conservatives -- including minority -- flooding in and taking control? Or will it finally cause formation of a new, more moderate conservative party serving both sexes, leaving the remnant GOP as an increasingly shrunken extremist party?
