6—The Daily Collegian Monday, Nov. 30, 1987 More women than men voting lately By WILLIAM M. WELCH Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON, D.C. Women have emerged as a voting majority in recent elections yet presi dential candidates in both parties have not begun talking their language, the leader of a women's political group says. Irene Natividad. head of the National Women's Political Caucus, said the pattern of women out voting men is particularly striking in the South, where nearly one-third of the Democratic and Republican delegates will be at stake in the “Super Tuesday” March 8 presidential primaries. Presidential candidates in both parties, she said, have failed to recognize that women now consti tute a voting majority or to find a way to address their message in a way that women, concerned with pocketbook issues, will respond to.

Natividad said in a recent interview. “What they are missing is that the consitutency that has delivered and can deliv er again, the women's vote, is not being paid as much attention to." The National Women's Political Caucus, a bipar tisan group, is sponsoring a meeting in Atlanta next month in an attempt to draw attention to this point. Several hundred women from across the South are expected for the Dec. 5 forum, called “Super Saturday: Women and the Primary Poli tics of Super Tuesday."

Among some of the 15 Southern Super Tuesday states, the female majority last year was quite high. It was nearly 56 percent in Florida and Mississippi, and nearly 55 percent in Alabama and Georgia. Republican Senate incumbents were turned out of office in three of those four: Florida. Alabama and Georgia. ' There have been poll after poll that indicate women's votes, in coalition with minority votes in certain states, were the ones that changed the Senate composition in 1986,” Natividad said.
