Obama's Vanishing Lead with Women Voters
American Thinker ^ | 10/24/2012 | Jeannie DeAngelis

The Democratic party likes to portray itself as seeing women as equal to men. Yet it's the Democrats who think they can woo female voters by dangling free contraceptives in front of them like a carrot luring a donkey.

For months America has been hearing how it's President Barack Obama who has the estrogen vote sewn up. Now, according to a recent USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, America comes to find out that Mitt Romney is currently leading Barry the Birth Control President in the top battleground states, and the women he thought were willing to sell the country down the river for an IUD are driving that lead. In 2008, a large contribution to Barack Obama's 13-point margin of victory came from women swept up in the euphoria of a wave of Oprah Winfrey flag-waving hysteria. In 2012 it appears that Winfrey and her tear-soaked eyelashes are sitting this one out, and so are all the women who followed her lead. According to a recent article in USA TODAY entitled Swing States poll: Women push Romney into lead, Susan Page writes

*****

"As the presidential campaign heads into its final weeks, the survey of voters in 12 crucial swing states finds female voters much more engaged in the election and increasingly concerned about the deficit and debt issues that favor Romney."

*****

Much to the chagrin of the mainstream media, feminist activist Sandra Fluke, and Obama shills like ingénue Scarlett Johansson and Eva 'Border Security Expert' Longoria, "the Republican nominee now ties the president among women who are likely voters, 48%-48% while he leads by 12 points among men."

Democratic pollster Celinda Lake admitted that since his strong performance in the first debate, “In every poll, we’ve seen a major surge among women in favorability for Romney.” According to Ms. Lake, “Women went into the debate actively disliking Romney... came out thinking he might understand their lives and might be able to get something done for them.” Presidential prospects for Mitt Romney have only continued to improve after the second and third debates.

FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW, CELINDA LAKE IS WITH THE BATTLEGROUND POLL ( TARRANCE GROUP ). PROBABLY EVEN MORE ACCURATE THAN RASMUSSEN IN TERMS OF ITS RECORD.

Romney is not going to win single young women who by and large are liberal and vote Democratic.

But he’ll do well with married women and older divorced and widowed women voters.

He will also likely win older women who are stuck with underemployed and unemployed children who are also young adults in the house. Honestly, as a father to be, I would want my own kids to have a chance to move on and have their own life. I would hate to imagine what my wife or mother would be thinking.

At a certain age, smart women realize there is more to leadership than the promise of subsidized sexual gear and the right to kill your baby anytime, anywhere.

The Democrat Party is so demeaning to White women. They want them to sell their vote for the cheap price of “free” contraceptives, which come out of their employers’ pockets and may lead to their job going to Mexico or China.

Black women at least get a “free” ObamaPhone for their votes.

David Axlerod, Valerie Jarrett and Obama went too far in portraying Romney as The Ghost of Gordon Gecko who cheats on his taxes, is a felon and murder’s people’s wives. Even then a murdering capitalist tax-cheat was polling within the MoE of the Disaster in Chief.

But when people saw that the caricature of Romney was an extreme exaggeration, the backlash was just about as extreme. So what we’re seeing here is a backlash of the “Kill Romney” tactic. And instead of pivoting, the Obama Campaign is doubling down. Romney is a liar with “Romnesia”. He really is a murdering capitalist tax-cheat.

They’re out of ideas.

Yes but you are forgetting. If those women are demoralized then votes they would have counted on wont show up at the polls. And with women, they tend to have group think. If more of their opinion leaders say, Oh Im just not going to vote this year, that will influence 10 women to do the same.

I was watching a thing on Fox yesterday, the one with the 2 lawyer gals, and they were talking about the debate saying....women don’t like confrontation, they want to see them being nice and working together, etc., etc.
I get offended when they say crap like that. Not all women are so stupid and touchy feely. As a matter of fact, none of the women I associate with are that much of a loser. sheesh, what a bunch of absolute bs.
