War turns southern women away from GOP

Hadn't heard this one; a comparison of Bush to U.S. Grant. Now that does spell doom in the southland. We can only hope it carries over to all of Bush's enablers in red-state hell.

War turns southern women away from GOP - Yahoo! News:

"MACON, Ga. -President Bush's once-solid relationship with Southern women is on the rocks. 'I think history will show him to be the worst president since Ulysses S. Grant,' said Barbara Knight, a self-described Republican since birth and the mother of three. 'He's been an embarrassment.'

In the heart of Dixie, comparisons to Grant, a symbol of the Union, is the worst sort of insult, especially from a Macon woman who voted for Bush in 2000 but turned away in 2004.

In recent years, Southern women have been some of Bush's biggest fans, defying the traditional gender gap in which women have preferred Democrats to Republicans. Bush secured a second term due in large part to support from 54 percent of Southern female voters while women nationally favored Democrat John Kerry, 51-48 percent.
