"If you're going to have women in the workplace"? It's a wonder there's a gender gap at all. Romney ran out the clock on his answer by pivoting to job growth without ever saying whether he thinks women are worth as much as men in the workplace , something Obama was only too happy to point out. "I just want to point out that when Gov. Romney's campaign was asked about the Lilly Ledbetter bill, whether he supported it? He said, 'I'll get back to you.' And that's not the kind of advocacy that women need in any economy," said Obama. In the spin room after the debate, Romney's surrogates tried to say that it didn't matter whether Romney supported the Lilly Ledbetter Act, but Ed Gillespie gave new meaning to the room's name when he said that Romney didn't support the equal pay law in 2009 but that he wouldn't oppose it as president. You can't get elected president if you need to pivot away from talking about half of the country. When women make up half our workforce, it's really hard to imagine a politician who's not eager to tell them that they deserve to make as much as men, unless, of course, that's not what Romney believes. ........................................\\...
