HRC drew three-fourths of the women's vote in New York State
with the help of supporters like this:

http://www.nywomenvote.org/

I don't think this primary is over, and I don't know who I'll end up voting for.

But if it's Hillary in the general, I think it will be an exciting campaign, especially for younger women.

1. I talked to
a good friend of mine who is a real political junkie and has been for 40 years. He's convinced if Hillary is the candidate she will win the general. He is positive that moderate Repulican women and indepentent women will vote for her. They will get into the voting booth and think "It's time."

I haven't picked a candidate yet but would have no problem voting for Hillary come next November. People should be really fed up with dumb and scary, if they aren't already.

3. I also think she'll get a lot of moderate, independent,
and previously non-voters.

And I think she'll fight when she needs to.

This should be an interesting election.

5. I just had the same conversation at work today
with a couple of other Democratic women. If Clinton is the candidate,I think there will be a lot of republican women claiming to vote for their candidate,while secretly voting for Clinton. The appeal to be part of history will be strong with a lot of women .

2. Another one of the things Hillary had going for her in NY
Is that her opponent was an unknown that most of the population did not know the name of before the election.

Hell, a few of us didn't know his name AFTER the election.

4. But that doesn't explain the huge gender gap in NY state.
Apparently many more men were willing to vote for a man whose name they'd never heard of.

7. I know some hard core republicans whose wives say they'll secretly vote for her in the General
Their husbands would blow a gasket if they knew.

10. I have a feeling there will be a sizable number of republican women doing the same...
They'll never admit it openly or in front of their spouse though.
