Mitt Romney loves women, dammit! (Darren Hauck/Reuters)
Facing a
gender gap as wide as the Grand Canyon, Mitt Romney and Republican strategists think it's time to kick his
women wooing into high gear ... and they have five strategies to do it:
He says Augusta National Golf Club should admit women
Well, I'm sold. When I win the lottery and my dream of joining the most exclusive country club in America is within reach, I'll remember this day.
He's relying heavily on his wife
Because his wife talks to women and she knows, women are worried about the economy ... which means the cost of driving kids to soccer practice.
He's skewing Obama's record
This is also known as lying about Obama's record.
He's focusing on pocketbook issues
See soccer practice.
If all else fails, he could always choose a female running mate
Yes, go rogue! Who can forget how women abandoned the Democratic Party in droves after Sarah Palin was added to the ticket in 2008?
In other words, Mitt Romney's strategy to close that gaping chasm of a gender gap is to slap a bandaid on it and hope that women forget that he's on the wrong side of every issue that affects their day-to-day lives.
Good luck with that.
