How can this possibly be?

Haven't these people heard of the repug's War on Women???? Unbelievable.

8:26PM EDT October 15. 2012 - WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney leads President Obama by four percentage points among likely voters in the nation's top battlegrounds, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, and he has growing enthusiasm among women to thank.

As the presidential campaign heads into its final weeks, the survey of voters in 12 crucial swing states finds female voters much more engaged in the election and increasingly concerned about the deficit and debt issues that favor Romney. The Republican nominee has pulled within one point of the president among women who are likely voters, 48%-49%, and leads by 8 points among men.

Why they ate publishing it today is a mystery but both the Obama campaign and Nate Silver have labelled it as an extreme outlier.

The man with a totally uncosted 5 trillion tax cut and increases in defence spending? Or for that matter any Republican?

For how many more generations do Democrats have to clean up the shit left behind by Republicans before people finally realize who's doing the pooping?
