Romney told the contributors that "women are open to supporting me," but that "we are having a much harder time with Hispanic voters, and if the Hispanic voting bloc becomes as committed to the Democrats as the African American voting block has in the past, why, we're in trouble as a party and, I think, as a nation." When one attendee asked how this group could help Romney sell himself to others, he answered, "Frankly, what I need you to do is to raise millions of dollars." He added, "The fact that I'm either tied or close to the president�that's very interesting."

I don't know a lot of women who are open to voting for Romney after he chose Paul Ryan as a running mate.

Paul Ryan's association with Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin has likely doomed Romney with most independent women voters.

What's fascinating about Romney is he thinks he can buy his way out of this mess.

It's worked for him almost his whole life...

It's the economy that keeps him close; ironic, given the cause of the massive economic decline AND massive govnment debt.
