The "War on women" worked well in 2010, no reason it won't work again in 2012 even with a horrible economy and crushing debt.
People's pocketbooks and fiscal policies trumps the war on women.  Sometimes, the democrats like to pull sh*t out of their a** and say its a merit issue of the election.

Yeah, like gay marriage for Bert and Ernie.

That is the fourth time you've used that joke, it's still awful, and the idea that this is some sort of distracting "merit issue" (whatever that means) that Obama will use to play for swing votes in Colorado...bizarre.

It's well-established that Democrats planned on using gay marriage as a "wedge" issue for the fall in an attempt to distract from the dismal economy. Fortunately, Biden blew the plans back in May.

Wedge issue, or means of exciting the base?  Think about the demographics of the average swing voter in this election and tell me that announcing support for gay marriage would appeal to them.  Gay marriage is still a better wedge issue for Republicans than Democrats.  As calculated as Obama's decision might have been, it would not be effective as a "distraction."  That's incoherent.
