So what are the political interests of Women in America?

It's not just the righties that try to create artificial divides, to be fair. That's how you get votes on either side. The real question is the legitimacy of the argument about why there's a split.

I agree with the Democrats that Republican policy - not just the fringe, anymore, but the Party, almost all elected Republicans at the national level and in the states - is openly hostile to women's rights, to equality, and to just about every feminist principle. I think - especially given the 20-point gap between Romney and Obama among women - that women have realized this, and that they feel like things that they thought were settled a long time ago - like the right to contraception and the right to privacy - are under attack.
