I’m not so sure. Mitt is being attacked for his “binders of women” comment, even by obama. Why? That was a nothing mistake by Romney. Is it to setup the focus on women, his “disregard” of women, prior to whatever Allred may allege? Their focus on the “binders” faux-pas sounds like a setup....(or they are just completely out of things to attack Romney on).
I think the later.
I think you are correct about the reason for the “binder” comments.
