In the swing states, the power of women
A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of the Swing States shows Mitt Romney with a lead among likely voters as he strengthens his standing with women in the nation's top battlegrounds
It would be interesting to see what percentage of the women vote RR get versus McCain/Palin. Women are always more likely to vote for Dems but would they be less likely to vote for a woman?

Women that are smart are voting Mitt and co. because 1, he's handsome, 2 he's been married to the same woman, 3 got no skeletons, and 4 he can talk about doing so and so to planned parenthood, abortion etc but in reality there ain't nothing going to change.
Obama pollster Joel Benenson calls the method used to identify likely voters flawed.
"In the last election, Gallup's registered voter model — not its likely voter model — was a much more accurate predictor, with their likely model missing the mark in 2010 by 9 points right before the election," Benenson says. "That explains why Gallup's results are way out of line with a dozen recent swing state polls that show the president with a double-digit lead among women."
Among all registered voters in the survey, Obama leads by nine points among women and by two points overall, 49%-47%.
You just keep telling yourself that Martin. Meanwhile, women will decide of they want to put their future on the line on your prediction that Romney won't follow through on his threat to defund PP, or support the GOP war on women.
I'm betting on women to be smarter than that and not take the chance.

So if Romney does finish with 45% of the female vote will you call them idiots? Or blame it on the attack ads?
