Power of Democratic Women

In light of discussion of how democratic women in Ulster outnumber the men by 20,000+ to 14000+ here is e-mail was passed on to me from a colleague of mine in Cambridge, MA. about women's power of the vote. While the piece is focused on the number of women who voted for Hillary, the point is well made that Democratic women are the majority of voters, and need to be heard.

"
We made a huge difference...see below. We are a true power bloc. Please read and pass onto your friends. And, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you did to help Hillary.
We are a power bloc – since the DNC and party leaders are ignoring us, we need to be very shrewd and use that power so that they understand – throwing over our candidate is not going to work out for Democrats.
Among all women, Hillary led 51 percent to 43 percent, and from March through May she led 55 percent to 44 percent. Among white women, Hillary leads 61 percent to 34 percent and among Latinas, Hillary leads 58 percent to 25 percent for those states reporting Hispanics in exit polling. among non-African-American women, Hillary led 60 percent to 35 percent, and she led 62 percent to 33 percent among this group in states that voted March through May.
And Hillary brought more women into the process. Women rose from 7.56 million in the 2004 Democratic primaries to more than 21 million in May 2008 – from 54% to 58% of the Democratic primary electorate. In Ohio, for example, women rose from 52% of the Democratic presidential primary voters in 2004 to 59% in 2008.
Here's a chart showing HRC's margin among women in states from exit poll data – in states like Arkansas, Mass, NY, RI, WV, she won more than 60% of the female vote:

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man tumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short agian and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt "
