Thursday, April 12, 2012  THURSDAY: Pulling the ladies.
President Obama and Mitt Romney began their general election
battle on the issue of women yesterday, a topic most near and
dear to candidate, Newt Gingrich. The former Speaker is all but
eliminated from the race but vowed to treat all women equally,
in all respects, whether he is married to them or not.  Romney's
camp initially had no answer on a call with reporters as to
whether their candidate supported the Lilly Ledbetter Act, which
supports equal pay for women. They later clarified that he
absolutely supports "equal pay" for women, he just likes to be
able to reconsider whenever anyone asks.  Ann Romney sniped back
at a CNN contributor who claimed that she was not qualified to
discuss women's economic issues since she never worked a day in
her life, saying that she knows "what it's like to struggle."
For example, she had to endure the driving bore of raising the
five sons of Mitt Romney.
