terrific. just jumped on the first one that really matched for me. jim is here can we talk about politico? are you done? i d rather talk about our history. hot air day. the apology, the family for what sid did. made for a good movie. sid and nancy. that was a great movie. great flick. is it friday? not yet. let some people speak, joe. he sounds like my wife now. do you want me to go? no. almost. john harris has a story saying mitt romney and barack obama are actually an even match in the general election. what s he talking about? it s a good anecdote with allen west. for as freaky as politics are. for as dysfunctional, the politics produced two candidates whether you like the candidates or not who are pretty sane. who are fairly moderate inside
did you look at the generations in gay marriage. younger people. i m sorry. alex was talking in my ear. i m going to get to the top stories. the new york times is reporting the romney campaign is launching a new strategy aimed at closing the gender gap against president obama. recent polling puts the president up nearly 20 points on romney among female voters. now the likely hoop nominee is looking to turn the tables on the white house. the real war on women is being waged by the president s failed economic policies. [ applause ] we handed these out. i don t know whether you saw these. these are statistics which show just how severe the war on women has been by virtue of the president s failed policies. the number of this is an amazing statistics. the percentage of jobs lost by women in the president s three years, 3 1/2 years, 92.3% of all
equal pay. had to think about it. we support it. the push and pull over women s issues is only getting started. they pounced on a comment made by hilary rosen about romney s wife ann. what you have is mitt romney running around the country saying, well, you know, my wives tells me what women really care about are economic issues. when i listen to my wife, that s what i hear. guess what, his wife never worked a day in her life. she s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing in terms of how do we feed our kids and send them to school and how do we why do we worry about their future. ann romney joins twitter yesterday and responded in her first tweet saying i made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. believe me, it was hard work. now, rosen, by the way, doesn t work ekt directly for the obama reelection team. but the comments set off a
but mitt romney needs do it. how does he do it? i agree with bill completely. i don t think they need to overplay their hand. it looked forced when he was rattling off these numbers. i think at the end of the day, the numbers, i don t know why the numbers are misleading. i haven t looked into it enough. john highly man, though, romney does have one thing right. women aren t going to be looking at the chattering back and forth and what people are saying on prime time cable at night. they are going to be looking at the bills and checkbooks and looking at the things that working women and women who work at home look at. that s the bottom line. this is why, we talked earlier about this led better thing. it s strange to me. you made the point that they ve pivoted the general election. they held the conference call to address women issues and didn t have an answer to a basic question. it seems a little inept. the more important thing is why are they taking this debate on
i was amused when i heard that stat. i m involved with the romney campaign but haven t gotten talking points or data on this since they popped off last night. i was talking about one woman who the rise of her career, romney was indispensable. when he left baine consulting, he turned the firm over to be run by a woman. beth myers his chief of staff, his deputy campaign manager. i m anything about all the senior officials in his life. i know you worked for them. making sure. i actually said i m involved with the campaign and not gotten come on. you re condemning him for even talking points. by the way, really quickly, let me just say and let s keep going on with the news. let me just si that the obama campaign does need to be careful about this. because they have been attacked from the inside for not having the best environment in the white house regarding women. we know valerie and other people
