[E]xit poll of voters showed single women were a decisive factor in Barack Obama's historic victory. If not for the overwhelming support of unmarried women, John McCain would have won the women's vote and with it, the White House," said the international research firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner. Tuesday night, unmarried women supported the Democratic candidate by a stunning 70 to 29 percent margin, the firm said in a summary of its calculations, based on the Edison/Mitofsky National Election Pool published by CNN.

Why did President-elect Obama carry the unmarried female vote? I went over to the intersection in Grants Pass at the corners of Imagination Boulevard and Probably Avenue, here's what women had to say:

1. "He's got charisma."


2. "He's about me and the Hollywood camp of the young and restless."


3. "Hey, my body is my body...he says he'll protect me and my reproductive rights."


4. "The greatest generation had their day, and Viet Nam, well...Barack shows me a different kind of bravery."


5. "It's not about pro-life, it's not about homosexuality, and it's not about same-sex marriage. It's about getting along...he wants to get along."


6. "He reminds me of the famous line in Twilight, 'Forever. Begins. Now.'"


7. "Any President who can text message and sign it, 'Barack,' gets my vote."


8. "This is our moment, our time."


9. "I don't know, I just did it."


10. "He'll take care of my kids...he'll take care of me."
