Chris Cillizza claims that Romney doesn't have a woman problem!

Chris Cillizza: "Let's assume for the sake of argument that Romney loses women on Nov. 6 by 8.5 points -- his average deficit in those three polls among registered voters... That would be a better showing among women than John McCain made in 2008 (lost women by 13), George Bush made in 2000 (lost women by 11) and Bob Dole made in 1996 (lost women by 16). It would be roughly equal to the eight-point margin that George H.W. Bush lost women to Bill Clinton in 1992."

"So, for all of the chatter about Romney's women problems, he is currently positioned to do as well or better than every Republican presidential candidate among female voters save one: George W. Bush in 2004 who lost among women by just three points to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry."

Overall, GOP candidates have a woman problem. Romney's gap is less than many others. Why, I have no idea. The man is a creepy authoritarian autocrat. I'm interested in seeing how this gap grows or shrinks. Cillizza should have been more clear, who knows why he chose not to. Our problem is how to grow the "woman problem, not get our knickers in a twist over a cynical wise ass.
