Unlike you, I actually am involved in this process and review private polls each week that show me the lay of the land. The GOP is currently hemmorraging female votes. Stay in denial if you wish. Of course the NYT is propagandizing this to attract the idiot RINO women who read that rag. But beneath that is the underlying truth that the current crop of amateurs running for the nomination, and running the party have thus far completely lost an issue they ought to have won.
would suggest that the GOP is NOT "currently hemmorraging female voters."
However, that said, I think we both agree that Rick Santorum has completely blown this issue, which we should easily win and thus Rick may be hemmorraging female voters. The answer though is not to avoid the issue, but vote Newt and WIN IT! Go Bama and Mississippi!
