To think the election is just about the economy is naive. Of course that is a big part but people do think ahead of the supreme court nominees. And women especially want someone someone in office that will support them and that doesn't seem to be Romney right now. But who knows with him. He's a chameleon.

What does "supporting women" mean? Isn't the president supposed to support all Americans? Why do we need to have this distinguishment between genders, race, age, ect... The American people elect the president - not artificial "segments" of the population.

Why would someone who represents Americans not be representing women?
Maybe you mean the Republicans may not support the goals of the most liberal women?

The election is ALWAYS about the economy. People vote their wallet. Those presidents in office when the economy is tanking are voted out----no matter what.

I don't mind people voting their wallets, but for a time now people have been trying to vote other people's wallets to their reach and that is going to send this country down to Greece territory in no time.
People need to grow up.

Ohhhhh... I also thought that the cons that dished out tht Azz woopin in 2010 was on the promise of Jobs and the economy Or was it the war on women Oh well I'm sure the majority of the voters will remember what the promise was. looks like the cons will have their trust, to vote them in again with a bigger majority this time

The Senate is Democratic and blocks every bill that would do some good that the House delivers to their chamber - and any that would get to the president would be vetoed.

Throw the bums out of office and lets get some real change put into action.
