I had been sitting on this a few days, but figure now was a good time to examine The Des Moines Register's analysis of the women's vote.

You see, Obama leads Mitt in this demographic,

It's still close, and one suspects that Mitt just needs maybe a manilla folder of women voters to put him over here.

If you haven't been following, things have went like this:

Mitt went Far Right to pander for votes, saying things like "Planned Parenthood, We'll get rid of that".  His GOP buddies said "LOL WUT?" when asked if women should be paid the same as men,  Obama hammered Romney on these views for months.  The GOP started a bunch of Ladies Love Cool Willard websites (which appear to be more anti-Barack than pro-Mitt, but there you go).  Mitt wend Midle for the general election, and said "Of course I'm anti-abortion, but it's not like I'm going to do anything about it."

So, what did the Register find:

-No 19th amendment, Iowa goes Red.  Iowa Women have Obama +13%, men have Romney up by 6%.
-Women don't like Romney (41% favorable, 55%unfavorable), but they like Paul Ryan (52%like,38%unfavorable)
-Iowa women identify as Democrats (37%), 25% identify as Republican, and 36% independent.
-Women have their mind made up.  Only 7% said that they could change their mind. 12% of men said they could.
-Most important issue: Women say Economy and Health Care, Men say Economy and Deficit.
-The Honesty question, women find Obama to be more honest by a margin of 51-34 (Men said Obama 45-41).  Trust on foreign affairs issues ran similar (women preferred Obama 56-38, while men said Obama 47-44)
-As far as women's issues, 60% of women said Obama would be better than 28% for Romney.

Meanwhile, in other Iowa election news.

100% of the Muppets are in favor of Obama



The Dems bring in The Boss for a free concert today.  The GOP still has no plans for celebrity endorsements though they did bring the orangest man this side of George Hamilton to campaign last night in eastern Iowa.  Boehner didn't talk to the media and didn't answer any questions about a failed agreement around the new farm bill in the House.
