HERE ARE SOME OF THE NUMBERS:

The Clinton-Obama gender divide (Domenico Montanaro, 1/08/08, NBC: First Read)

There is a real gender divide in this race. Obama leads among men, 42%-30%, and by a similar margin, Clinton leads among women, 47%-34%. This is a real difference from Iowa, where Obama actually BEAT Clinton among women.

He also defeated her in Iowa by wide margins among independents and young voters. Tonight, Obama leads among Independents (43%-31%) again, but not by the whopping margin he led by in Iowa. And he’s trailing among Democrats significantly (45%-34%).

It's a female party--you'd better carry women.
