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.

I’m sure Candy Crowley will be more than happy to help him. I have a feeling this debate tonight is going to be nothing but topics which can help Obama.

Perhaps there are many more women whose lives don’t revolve around birth control and wanting someone else to pay for it.

Maybe not all women want the “right” to kill an unborn child.

And maybe, there are a whole lot of women who would LOVE to have a husband and father to their children like both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Finally, maybe all women don’t want to “marry” other women!

Dear Lord, PLEASE just let 0bama be 0bama!

By talking about their lady parts and pap smears and how many free abortions they can have on live TV?

Good luck with THAT one!

I figure Candy Crowley sees it as her job to help Obama, but without being so obvious about it that it backfires. She can select the questions she thinks most likely to help Obama and hurt Romney. If she can make Mitt mad by her bias, that would hurt him, but he seems pretty unflappable.

The letter “l” is missing from the fifth word after the colon.
