As We Watch "The Debate" Tonight, Let us Contemplate "Women" and "Enthusiasm"
It seems that Democrat "old pickup lines" are not cutting it any more with women voters. The Seattle Times has an editorial in today's paper which explains how security issues and straight talk are among the things that seem to be winning their attention. But "forget the gender gap. The chasm that yawns the widest this election year is the Enthusiasm Gap," according to an excellent article in today's Washington Post.
"Nearly two in three likely voters who support President Bush -- 65 percent -- said they were "very enthusiastic" about their candidate while 42 percent of Sen. John F. Kerry's supporters express similarly high levels of enthusiasm for their choice, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News Poll.
"That's a 23-point difference in relative excitement." That, my friends, could be the decisive factor.
