2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat happens when half the country starts laughing at a national candidate?
The binder thing is way out of hand now. I don't see Mitt recovering from this. And the gun violence/single parent connection is not far behind, though inherently it is just not as funny as the binder of women gaffe.

(1,214 posts)...we see a candidate who gets more and more desperate every day. Hopefully this will be the beginning of another long line of fuck-ups for Mitty!

(8,694 posts)and I hadn't noticed before, the look on President Obamas face when Romney said "binders full of women", he was like "what the F&%$ is he talking about?" and it looked like he wanted to laugh but turned his head away...

(801 posts)he didn't initiate the idea of hiring or searching for women to hire. Women's groups had put together the "binders" prior to the election to give to whomever won. Another lie!

This review is from: Avery Durable View Binder with 2 Inch EZ-Turn Ring, White, 1 Binder (17032) (Office Product)
I heard about Mitt's binders full of women remark and had a *great* idea for guys wanting to save a little scratch on airline tickets or cruises-- no need to buy the wife an expensive ticket! Just get this cheap binder, toss her in and off you go! The binder fits easily in the TSA bins, so security isn't a problem. As carry-on luggage, just toss the binder under the seat in front of you and you're golden. I can't believe how easy it is to save a BUNDLE on travel expenses since I heard about this binder idea!!! Fantastic. Mitt, you're a GENIUS man!

Put your women in offshore bank accounts instead., October 17, 2012
By Just_Karen
I know the whole idea of binders full of women has caught on, but it's just not safe enough to keep your women in here. Women get out of these things and start demanding such basics as equal pay for equal work, reproductive rights and the like. Everyone knows they should be home cooking dinner where they belong, so we don't have mass murders in this great country of ours. I say, forget this whole idea of binders full of women. Stow your women in offshore accounts, instead, and whatever you do, don't let anyone get a peek at them. That's just snoopy, like asking to see someone's tax returns

(1,277 posts)Give it 4-6 days and we may see some tangible damage to Rommey in an otherwise wacky polling year.

(4,551 posts)Some pollster say Obama has lost his advantage with women to Romney since the first debate. Some polls appear to support that contention while others refute it.
One positive historical fact that Joe Trippi pointed out today was that no Republican has won the women's vote in a couple of decades and that it is unlikely Romney can do so. I hope that turns out to be the case.
Obama was wisely emphasizing these issues today in OHIO.
Hopefully most women saw all of the unacceptable things Romney said about them in the debate last night and will move to Obama.
We know that most men are not as intelligent as women and that the majority of them will vote Republican, so it is up to women to save the day!
