Reply #15: Check your numbers--single women are not "predominantly young."

Unless you are defining "young" very broadly. And they most certainly are not predominantly poor, although the poor are disproportionately female.

Why are you so willing to write off this constituency?

I think that the question asked how to get these people to vote. Has it occurred to you that one major reason they don't vote in the %s that they should, is that they don't believe that politicians of either party would work to address their concerns?
