Is perceptions of their candidate particularly among women.

He's down 1011 points compared to President Obama so big outreach to women last night and Romney really setting the table basically saying to the women of America.

We feel your pain.

Not sure if men really understand this but I don't think there's a woman in America who really expects to like to be easy.

Let me say this to every American who is thinking about who should be our next president.

No one will work harder.

No one will care more.
