Presidential Debate: Obama Looks to Win Back Women Voters
ABC News ^ | October 16, 2012 | By GREGORY J. KRIEG

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.

Well, he can’t come out Biden-like and deal with this issue. Maybe he’ll actually “come out”. That might do it.

Hiding behind Hilary’s skirt won’t help much.

Will the “moderator” have some swooners in the crowd tonight, or ask Hussein to sing?

He was using Bubba for the women's vote. Maybe she took the fall at Bubba's advice to punish Obama AND his minions.

Lets see if Bubba still campaigns for him.

Well, he already forked over free cell phones.

What is he going to promise this time?

• Life time passes at the manicurist?
• Free baby sitting service?
• Free day care?
• Free lifetime membership at Jenny Craig?

What else can he do to con them and blow our tax dollars?

And how is he going to “win” back women voters..I am a young single woman and I would NEVER EVER EVER vote for that Marxist clown. What is Obama going to promise, free abortions, free birth control pills..free boob exams..he already promised them that and still women are flocking towards Romney

Class Warfare alone isn’t enough. Now it’s Gender Warfare.

Dems continually rage about women’s rights as if they own them.

And Now, their position is that Women are so dumb that they can be Won Back more easily than Men can.

Condescending, hypocritical, scum.

This is what the Candy Crowley followup session is all about. At the 11th hour, the GOP relented and agreed to give Crowley (hardcore leftist CNN talking head) the license to attack Romney in followup sessions. ABORTION, CONTRACEPTION AND ROMNEY’S WAR ON WOMEN. Candy Crowley and the left are panicked and feel the need to rig the debate outcomes. Be ready for it—it’s going to be outrageous. I wonder if Axelrood has already sent Crowley the followup questions.

Father I lift up Romney to you, I pray for the wisdom of Solomon, the guidance of the Holy Spirit and a sharp tongue to sting his opponent. I also pray that You cause confusion in the mind of Obama and that his tongue will stick to the roof of his mouth... In Jesus name I pray!

If he can’t win the ‘support my out of wedlock love child’ vote, he’s toast.

He’s been watching every blaxploitation movie from the 70s and 80s.

At first, he thought that being like Billy D. Williams was best. Then he watched MANDINGO! and found his inspiration.

The fastest way to “win” back the women is to throw Hillary under the bus. Yeah! That’s the ticket!

Maybe some women are tired of working 16 hours a day only to hear “You didn’t build that”

Maybe some women feel a little uneasy that their husband got a pink slip a year ago and still flipping hamburgers at McDonalds.

No matter how you slice it, 0, them’s the facts that women care about. Smooth talking won’t cut it this time.

“What else can he do to con them and blow our tax dollars?”

1. Planned Parenthood gift cards.
2. Obamaphone upgrades.
3. Vouchers to Karl Marx’s Little Octobrist day care.
