Romney appeals to women on campaign trail in Illinois
Source: Wash. Post
Mitt Romney made a fresh appeal Sunday to middle-class moms who are frustrated by rising gas prices, hoping women voters can help speed up his slog to the Republican presidential nomination and rehabilitate his standing with independent voters.
Opening a two-day campaign swing across Illinois heading into Tuesday’s critical primary, Romney and his wife, Ann, made a populist play for the support of women, a demographic his strategists see as key to beating rival Rick Santorum in Illinois and in the primaries to come.
Romney increased his lead in the delegate count with a commanding victory in Puerto Rico, which held its primary Sunday. He was poised to claim all 20 delegates in the U.S. territory, where both he and Santorum campaigned hard in recent days.

Oh, interesting how the URL of a story about Illinois has the letters WLS within it. There are two WLS stations in Chicago: WLS-FM = the greatest hits of the '60s and '70s (good!) WLS-AM = hate radio (but at least Richard Roeper co-hosts the drive time show). Mike Malloy used to do his show on WLS-AM about 12 years ago.
Speaking of women though, in the NY Times article "For Romney, a Role of Faith and Authority" from Oct. 2011:
The Times also reported about "Romney’s Path to Pro-Life Position on Abortion" (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/us/politics/romneys-path-to-pro-life-position-on-abortion.html?pagewanted=all) in Feb. 2012.
Of course, we all know how Wall Strit Mitt/Mint Raw Money (Norman Goldman's nicknames for Romney) is lying about the gas prices.

because he certainly doesn't "appeal" to women.
