The Gender Gap Revisited

Writing for The Daily Beast/Newsweek, Linda Hirshman says the relevant gender gap is Democrats inability to attract the votes of white men. She makes an interesting point about women's vote for Democrats:

A big part of the reason why the gender gap looks so much more promising for the Dems than it turns out to be is that 2 or more points of that advantage are actually attributable to race. African-American women vote in larger numbers than African-American men do; the women’s vote is simply blacker than the men’s.
