Women made up 54% of the voters in 2004. 47% of women are unmarried. Unmarried women make up 25% of the eligible voters in the United States (50 million eligible voters, more than African American and Latinos combined). 20 million unmarried women did not vote in 2004. 30 million did not vote in the 2006 mid-terms. A huge untapped potential that is increasing its voting percentages faster than any other group. And they vote overwhelmingly Democratic.
Basically, unmarried women are the holy grail, the whole enchilada, and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for the Democratic Party in national elections...and will be for the foreseeable future.
Every unmarried woman the Democrats can drive to the polls, the better the Democrats will be in election count. 25% of the voters, the fastest growing group of voters with room to grow, and they vote Democratic by an overwhelming margin compared to any other group in the electorate.
Where are they, you ask? Above average numbers of unmarried women live in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Lousiana, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and California. As you can see, some of these states are crucial to a Democratic electoral college win. And, although I promised that this diary would not be partisan, I think you can also see why Clinton's poll numbers are so high in some of these primary states such as Florida, California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and even states in the deep south like South Carolina.
