As usual you have it wrong. There is no gender gap. As a matter of fact, it's not a gender issue at all. It's a marriage issue. Married women are intelligent enough to see through the BS which is at the core of what Albert Gore is all about.
Al Gore is appealing to single womens fear and ignorance. When you're part of a marriage, you work as a team, and feel a certain level of protection from the economic forces which can blind-side you. Single women (as a general rule) feel insecure economically. So they're willing to believe Al Gore's B.S. and approve of the government programs he's promised them. It gives them a sense of safety and security. In other words, single women (in the aggregate) are stuck in the lower need levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
This is especially true when you consider that many single women are widowed and elderly. Since women live longer than men, they're more apt to be happy to receive the new prescription drug welfare program from hubby Al Gore. Socialism appeals to insecure people. They fear they can't make it without this or that government program. Therefore, Al Gore is simply buying them off. And the sad thing is, he's only doing it as a calculated strategy to get elected. His silver spooned (scrooge to charity) personality, doesn't care a bit about single women. He's simply using them, just like his pal Bill Clinton used so many single women while President.
Something else I find pathetic. Remember the other day Al Gore made up a story about how wrong it was for his mother in-law to pay 100.00 per month for prescription drugs? I wonder if anyone will ask this simple question to Al Gore. Why should the government pay for your mothers prescription drugs? Can't you (a multi-millionaire) afford an insurance policy for your mother to help pay for her prescrption drugs?? Are you too cheap to help out your poor elderly mother our, and expect everyone else to do it for you?
By the way, whenever someone says. "It's not the money, it's the principle". (as you said to me recently) It's almost always the money.
