let me get back to you on a women's pay

          As America enter election time everything political gets magnified!  Understanding things get elaborated on and blown out of proportion is part of the political game.  With that knowledge, Presidential candidates should be on their A game. Quick and confident, with an intelligent response is what we are hoping for.

          Last Wednesday the Romney campaign had to do damage control after a reporter asked on a press conference call what Mr. Romney’s stance was on the 2009 Lilly Ledbetter Act. After pausing, the staffers told reporters they would have to “get back” with an answer — which, within an hour, they did, saying Mr. Romney supports the 3-year-old law.

          I understand that, Ann Romney, wife of Mitt Romney the presumptive presidential nominee, got to stayed home and raise their five sons. He might be uneducated to how things are in the work place for women. Maybe, Mrs. Romney has never worked a day in her life. (I think if you are lucky enough to be a stay at home mom that’s great.) But, we are way past the 50’s, and the truth is it takes two incomes to make the American dream possible. Plus, a lot more woman are single raising children. If more support was given to the 2009 law that grants women more chances to sue over pay discrimination, possibly less would be on welfare. 

          Both Mitt Romney and President Obama have need for female voters. According to aWashington Post/ABC News poll released Tuesday, Romney trails well behind Obama among women voters -- a result also seen in recent Gallup and CNN/ORC polls.Obama had the support of 57% of women, compared with 38% who said they backed Romney, while Romney had the backing of 52% of men, compared with 44% who backed Obama, the survey found.

          As the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, making a direct appeal to women is something Mitt Romney better get good at. He is around 20% below Obama with women voters. Romney can’t afford “missteps” and “I’ll get back to you” in his campaign. When a candidate is running for office, they should try and remember the very first bill Obama signed into law as President. Not knowing what your position is on a pending law--is a sure way to look really stupid!
