Obama only leads Romney at the moment by about 4 points;

Just wait till our side starts actually campaigning with a solid nominee. That will change rapidly, especially since it is obvious how well the Romney campaign has been using negative campaign tactics. They can easily turn this against Obama. Especially as weak as Obama is on his record and by then, the ruling on Obamacare will be in our favor.

Right now most of the negative image the moderates and Independents have on Republicans, is due to the high profile radical image and negative rhetoric against women that Santorum has been getting all the headlines for.

That will change once our main economic message starts taking effect. And Romney does have a strong economic message and the Executive experience to implement it. I also believe Romney will ask Newt to join the effort.

I think we are buying into the media narrative that MOST women are reflexively pro government supplied-abortion and birth control. The reality is more complicated. For example, polls indicate that a majority of married women are opposed to government subsidized abortion. Women DO tend to lean toward politicians who are for “peace” and “helping the poor.” And a candidate who displays “emotion” is likely to garner the distaff vote: Romney and Obummer are a wash there. And why this obsession with the women’s vote? Don't men count at all?
