As I was reading stories on the election tomorrow, I came across this article and video on the Huffington Post about the lack of polls on single women voters. The women vote has become an increasingly important factor in this presidential campaign season, with each candidate trying to "woo" the women demographic.
However, this segment on Bill O'Reilly, although comical, does not accurately poll the single woman vote either. He polls women during Halloween weekend, with most in 'sexy' costumes and does not include any women of color.
What do you think of this portrayal of women? Is it presenting an idea that women are not seriously politically active or should not be involved in politics? Do you think this is an accurate reflection of an average woman voter? Let me know your thoughts.
