Presidential Debate: Obama Looks to Win Back Women Voters (Seriously? Obama was losing women voters to Romney? WTF?)
I will hold off my comments about the qualities of the American voter until AFTER the election but…… Is it because Obama is black? WTF?
Presidential Debate: Obama Looks to Win Back Women Voters

With new poll numbers showing his support receding among the women voters who had for so long been the anchor of his base, President Obama enters tonight’s town hall-style debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney at a campaign crossroads.
Romney has made steady gains in the polls since his decisive performance during the candidates’ Oct. 3 meeting in Denver, Colo. A USA Today-Gallup survey released Monday showed Obama and Romney tied at 48 percent among women “likely” to vote in battleground states. Those figures echo the results of a Pew poll, published last week, that found Obama had fumbled an 18 point lead, leaving him dead even with Romney at 47 percent. ——>Continued
In the meantime, I thought both sides did poorly in the debate and Obama more poorly than Romney but I did not sense any devastating wing by Romney. So I don’t get the sudden Romney love. I am not going to doubt the polls because, I have been on record here as saying I never thought Obama would win easy and was always concerned about the racist underpinnings of the anti-Obama vote along with other factors.
But again, I won’t comment on the qualities of the American voter until AFTER the election.
