Jezebel.com Updates: Bill O'Reilly Is Not Thrilled That Single Women Might Decide Election
Single women are the fastest-growing voting population in the country: 55 million unmarried women will be voting in the upcoming election, and it goes without saying that they’re not being courted by Romney/Ryan. When Ann Romney went off-script at the RNC to yell “I love you, women!” she later…
