I know I get a lot of flak for not being great on women's issues: Santorum

Santorum plays catch-up, tries to woo female voters

Latest poll shows he trails Democrat Casey among women.
By Christina Gostomski Call Harrisburg Bureau
U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, who has some ground to catch up on when it comes to female voters, made a concerted effort Monday to pull more women into his flock of supporters.

In a room filled with about 50 women at Central Pennsylvania College in this Cumberland County community, Santorum unveiled an advertising strategy designed to appeal to women.

''I know I get a lot of flak for not being great � on women's issues,'' Santorum told the crowd.

Stating his own case, Santorum talked about his support for education-related issues and for aid to small businesses, including those led by women. He also noted that women comprise most of his senior staff.

His ad campaign includes a Web site, http://www.WomenforRick.com , and promotes the use of tracking issues through text messages sent to cell phones.

to their husbands, Rick is correct...women hate him.

"Stokholm Syndrome"... a legitimate psychological disorder. Black or Gay Republicans? Women who work for women-haters? Gotta be something wrong in their heads somewhere!

I missed this particular bit of understatement the first time.

:wtf:

I gave up trying to think of something witty to say. There's just no way to out do this actual statement.
