You really believe a couple of tears will erase women's memories of the Republican Party's concerted war on women?

Not for men it isn't. And Republicans have proven time and again they only care about other men and don't care about women or issues important to women.

That is probably the worst single piece of political advice since Johnson advised Kennedy "You should go to Dallas, they'll love you there!".

Which is why Romney is pulling closer to Obama with women. Clearly they are all self-hating and going against their best interests.

My experience has been that tears are an indicator to women that you are ready for the kill!

Mitt has tear ducts?

I don't think he needs to cry, Ronald Reagan never cried. What he needs to do, is nail Obama with poignant statements of indisputable truth. Reagan's was; "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?" Romney needs to make an emotional connection with the people, it doesn't have to be "teary-eyed" or even on that emotional level. He just needs to speak with compassion and present a sense of vision, and like I said, nail Obama's ass with indisputable poignant truths.

Then he's going to be in trouble because I haven't seen any indication where he connects with the middle class on any level.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama gained ground on Republican rival Mitt Romney for the third straight day, leading 46 percent to 43 percent, according to the Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll released on Tuesday.
Released hours before the presidential contenders face off for their second debate, the poll showed the number of undecided voters had increased, indicating a drop of support for Romney among the coveted voting bloc.
The poll showed that Obama has recovered some ground after a poor showing in his first presidential debate. After dropping below Romney in the wake of the October 3 debate, Obama regained the lead on Sunday and has increased that by 1 percentage point each day this week.
"I think what we're seeing is after the first debate Romney definitely saw a surge. A lot of his surge wasn't coming from Obama voters, it was coming from undecided voters, which is exactly where both candidates are seeking support," Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said.
"Now, we've actually seen the Romney bump decrease again a little bit," Clark said.
She said the number of people who have changed their minds and moved back to the undecided column took 2 percentage points off Romney's support and one point from Obama. Undecided voters now account for about 13 percent of likely voters, compared to 10 percent on Monday.
Romney and Obama meet at New York's Hofstra University on Tuesday night for a town hall-style debate where the questions will all be asked from undecided voters who have been selected to be part of the audience.
"It's a great place to be entering a debate tonight," said Clark, noting that the undecided voters will be able to ask questions on topics that interest them. "Tonight's debate will undoubtedly impact on some of them."
About 10 percent of the registered voters surveyed - a group of 178 people - said they had voted early. Among early voters, 59 percent said they had voted for Obama, while 39 percent said they had voted for Romney.
The online survey of 1,846 likely voters was conducted between Friday and Tuesday. The precision of the poll is measured using a credibility interval, which is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points for likely voters.

Is there a certain segment of the female population that still clings to the old adage "barefoot and pregnant", dreamt up so long ago by domineering men to keep women in their supposed place?
Of course.
Are there women who would rather have everything "mansplained" to them by know-it-alls like SF?
You bet!
Just as there are Middle Class Americans ready to vote against their own best interests because their narrow minds are filled with nonsense spoonfed to them by Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck and the rest.

The polls over the past two weeks would indicate he has connected not only with the middle class, but he has also gained among women and Hispanics.

So, in short, what you are saying is that you are an idiot. Incapable of addressing the fact that the polls show that Romney is gaining ground with women? You are thus going to resort to your hate filled ranting? Good to know.

I work/have worked with some very entrepreneurial women who vote Republican that I see kick men's asses and have nothing to do with being barefoot and pregnant.

Please tell me if I'm wrong here but the phrase 'voting against one's own interests' means from a male perspective that unless you are rich or wealthy you should vote Democratic because they want to tax the rich higher and create more programs for the middle class while Republicans only support the rich and for women abortion is the big thing which is why voting Republican is voting against their own interest while Democrats will keep abortion legal for women?
