(3,891 posts)For example, Wendy Davis? 54% of women voted against Wendy. http://www.cnn.com/election/2014/results/state/TX/governor
In Kentucky, only 47% of women voted for Allison Lundgren Grimes. http://www.cnn.com/election/2014/results/state/KY/senate
One woman did manage to get more votes, but it was Mia Love, Republican in Utah. http://www.cnn.com/election/2014/results/state/UT/house/04
In Iowa, the Women's vote was split. Of course, we all know that the Republicans won with Joni the pig castrator. http://www.cnn.com/election/2014/results/state/IA/senate
In Louisiana, less than half the women voted for Mary Landrieu during the General, no word on the runoff, but she lost, so we can assume her numbers didn't increase then can't we? http://www.cnn.com/election/2014/results/state/LA/senate
So what makes you think that women won't vote for the GOP? History clearly shows that they will, and do. In fact, the GOP picked up a 1% increase in women voters in 2012 over 2008. Perhaps that's where the additional million voters for the Republicans came from.

In the same four year period, four million fewer people voted for President Obama in 2012 than 2008. So I was wondering, what makes you certain that women will turn out for Hillary in numbers greater than turned out in 2014 or even 2012? Some polling perhaps? Because her support is about the same that voted for President Obama in 2008, but not the numbers from 2012. Eh, what's one percent, a million votes here, and a million votes there, and we're outside of the fence looking in at a Republican Trifecta. White House, House, and Senate. Oh what a joyous day that would be for us. No wait, it sucked the last time.
