I'm currently traveling for business, so sing-off recaps to come later, but there are a few good links in the right hand feed (which is far more interesting than my scrawls).

Could an Unmarried Woman Sink Obama?

That the title of this article, and some VERY creative spin. Let's deconstruct.

  1. Barack Obama won, in part, because of his huge support in the 18-25 demographic, and in younger Americans more generally.
  2. A lack of voter engagement and turnout could hurt Obama in 2012.
  3. Young women constitute some young Americans.
  4. Younger Americans tend to be unmarried.
  5. Therefore, unmarried women were strong Obama supporters, and failing to turn out might hurt him.
