Larger Women's Issues Loom over Romney Campaign

When a Democratic strategist said stay-at-home mom Ann Romney shouldn't
advise her husband about women's economic issues, it set off a debate that
glossed over the candidate's obstacles to winning over moderate female
voters.
.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. The shrill debate over a Democratic strategist's
assertion that stay-at-home mom Ann Romney should not be advising her
husband about women's economic travails glossed over the bind that Mitt
Romney finds himself in as he pivots to the fall election.
.
The problem is this: Many of the economic policies that the former
Massachusetts governor has embraced during the contentious Republican
primary could make it much harder for him to appeal to the moderate and
independent women who are key to his quest for the White House.
.
The gender gap Romney faces is stark. He trailed President Obama among
women by 19 percentage points in a Washington Post/ABC News poll this week
a slide that began in the midst of the Republican primary debate over
issues like access to birth control. Perhaps most ominously, a USA
Today/Gallup survey released last week found that Obama had opened a
14-percentage-point lead over Romney among independent women in 12 swing
states.
.
While the campaigns tangled this week over ancillary issues like whether
Romney was using a fair statistic to describe job losses among women
during Obama's presidency, or the stances of several of his female
surrogates on controversial issues like transvaginal ultrasounds for women
seeking abortions, the more crucial question is what the toll has been of
his sometimes harsh rhetoric on issues of concern to moderate women, like
budget priorities, immigration and the nation's social safety net.
.
On those topics, Romney has at times boxed himself in. He has pounded
Obama for job losses among women during his tenure, yet rarely
acknowledged that many of those cuts were in government jobs that would be
sliced further under his proposals, which would shrink government
employment by 10%.
.
Though middle-of-the-road female voters tend to be more concerned than
conservative women about maintaining the nation's social safety net and
expanding healthcare access, Romney has vowed to repeal Obama's healthcare
law, rein in the growth of programs like Medicare and get rid of
government aid to Planned Parenthood. He rarely touts his own efforts to
expand access to healthcare in Massachusetts, because the program has
become such a liability for him among Republican voters.
.
In his haste to show his credentials as a fiscal conservative, Romney also
has repeatedly criticized the president for promising voters "free stuff"
by implication trashing programs like education subsidies that are popular
among women voters.
