One of the intriguing aspects of this election is how the Democrats' shameless and clueless appeal to women is ending with the vaporization of the historic "gender gap" among voters.
The Lady Parts Convention
From the prancing Code Pink vulvas outside the convention venue to the choice of speakers, there was no doubt that the Democrat Convention was aimed at securing the women's vote. Indeed, Balkanizing women and minority voters was then as significant a part of the Obama strategy as securing the electoral votes of Ohio is now to them.
The thinking here apparently was that by highlighting a thirty-year-old law student whining that others should pay her contraceptive costs, emphasizing an unfettered right to abortion, and equal pay for equal work (a convenient code for further feathering trial lawyers nests with dubious claims for parity) and highlighting fluffy issues beloved of the ill-informed, Obama would lock up the women's votes. The Republican "War on Women" was the theme of a convention designed around obscuring the fact that the Democratic standard-bearer had no record to run on, no plan for a second term, and shared the ticket with a crazy person afflicted with logorrhea.
Reality Bites
This week, as Susan Fields observes, it is clear that strategy failed so badly that the long running gap between male and female voters has been practically erased.
The Gallup Poll now shows Mitt Romney trailing the president by only a point among women who are likely to vote in 12 swing states. This follows a Pew Research Center poll taken after the first presidential debate showing that President Obama's 18-point lead among women had shrunk to a tie, 47 percent to 47 percent.

LOVE this! The dems are so full of it with this ‘war on women’ crap.
Imagine how stupid it would be if a bunch of men showed up in penis costumes to help a Republican candidate get votes from men. Gag!
These women are ridiculous and don’t even have the class to know they are embarrassing themselves. From Code Pink to Planned Parenthood, they are becoming a national joke. They “speak” for us? I don’t think so.
What women- WITH brains- care about is the fact that it costs twice as much to fill their tanks so they can make it to work; they CARE that their groceries are, likewise, twice as expensive, with milk scheduled to go to 6 bucks a gallon; they CARE that their electric bill is three times what it was when Obama took office; they CARE that the current culture encourages their young daughters to become sexually active, even as THEY try to teach their girls to respect themselves; they care that their kids are numbers 24 and 26 in science and math skills behind the Slovak Republic, yet their taxes are climbing every year. She KNOWS she will never get a voucher, so her kids are going to have to stay in failed, abominable public “schools”. Between her and her husband, they make about 60k per year, but the smart woman knows that when Obama talks about “the rich”, he is REALLY talking about HER. She is dreading this years tax season and is just hoping she won’t have to end up paying MORE.
The smart woman KNOWS the “women’s movement” was NEVER about “women”.
Sounds like a gay old time.
