Centrist Women Tell of Disenchantment With G.O.P.

In Iowa, one of the crucial battlegrounds in the coming presidential
election, and in other states, dozens of interviews in recent weeks have
found that moderate Republican and independent women one of the most
important electoral swing groups are disenchanted by the Republican focus
on social issues like contraception and abortion in an election that,
until recently, had been mostly dominated by the economy.
.
And in what appears to be an abrupt shift, some Republican-leaning women
like Ms. Russell said they might switch sides and vote for Mr. Obama if
they turn out to vote at all.
.
The sudden return of the culture wars over the rights of women and their
place in society has resulted, the women said, in a distinct change in
mood in the past several weeks. That shift adds yet another element of
uncertainty to a race that has been defined by unpredictability, at least
for Republicans.
.
To what extent women feel alienated remains unclear: most interviews for
this article were conducted from a randomly generated list of voters who
had been surveyed in a recent New York Times/CBS News poll, and their
responses are anecdotal, not conclusive. But the latest comments from the
Republican candidates and in the right-wing media, aimed at energizing the
partys conservative base, have been enraging to some women.
.
After the talk show host Rush Limbaugh denounced a Georgetown University
law student as a slut and a prostitute for her advocacy of insurance
coverage of contraception, some women were critical of Mr. Romneys tepid
response.
.
Rick Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania who is one of Mr.
Romneys rivals for the nomination, created a tempest late last month by
speaking out against prenatal testing. Earlier comments about women in
combat and the role of radical feminism in encouraging work outside the
home also left some women ill at ease.
.
Everybody is so busy telling us how we should act in the bedroom, theyre
letting the country fall through the cracks, said Fran Kelley, a retired
public school worker in Seattle who voted for Senator John McCain over Mr.
Obama in the 2008 election. Of the Republican candidates this year, she
added, Theyre nothing but hatemongers trying to control everyone, saying,
Live as I live.
