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.

“The partisan strategy as I see it has been to
woo the white male vote." Natividad said in a
recent interview. “What they are missing is that

The National Women's Political Caucus, a bipar

next month in an attempt to draw attention to this
point. Several hundred women from across the

Democratic or Republican primaries or caucuses
on 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.
