There will be no more "reaching out to women" for you, Bill.

As major female Democratic Hillary Rodham Clinton backers are consolidating around Barack Obama, the Obama campaign is cranking up its pitch to women voters, with a joint Clinton/Biden video forum Wednesday, part of a "Women's Week of Action."
This activity comes as polls show Obama has not been able to win over a chunk of Clinton backers--and as Sarah Palin threatens to drain off crucial female voters. The Obama campaign is, I was told, "redoubling" its efforts to lock-in support of women, especially the Democratic leaners who by logic should be with Obama.
Senators and House members and other women leaders will be out stumping for the ticket as part of an upcoming Women for Change Weekend.
While Palin makes a historic appeal to women to break the glass ceiling, the Obama campaign will have an equal pay ad airing this week reminding voters of policy differences with the McCain-Palin ticket that vastly impact females.
"More and more families depend on the income earned by working women, so you'd think we'd be united in our determination to help eliminate the unfair pay gap and pay women what they deserve for the work they do. But even now in 2008 Senator McCain has stood in the way of legislation to help close the pay gap... only from the man who repeatedly says the fundamentals of our economy are strong," said Moira Mack, spokeswoman for the Obama campaign.
On Monday, the Obama campaign released a list of major female backers--some there from the start of his campaign, but more important, names of women prominent in the Clinton presidential campaign and some visible females who are just now making a public endorsement. Obama spoke to the group Monday in a conference call, first reported in the Huffington Post.

But I thought Hillary's women weren't flocking to Palin? I think people see Hillary as "old news" these days. She only drew 1,200 at her last rally for the Chosen One.

There will be no more "reaching out to women" for you, Bill.
Isn't this gap a myth anyway?
A pitch that revolves around killing babies is quite a pitch. Good luck with that.
$.83 vs. $1.04
LOL. Why don’t they just put Bill Clinton in charge of this aspect of the campaign? He’s great at “reaching out to women” isn’t he?
"'Barack Obama says he's for equal pay for women, but women working in his Senate office earn an average of $9,000 less than men. By contrast, women in John McCain's Senate office actually earn an average of nearly $2,000 more than men. The American people understand that real leadership for the change we need is all about what you do, not just empty words.'"
If you put lipstick on Hollywood Celebrities...are they still pigs??? (Shakes head)....I'm so confused about my political metaphors...No insult intended of course.
