Women and Obama

Given that the mainstream media is stating that support for Obama among white women is at a low, I went to an event that is totally focused on women's issues and women getting involved in politics to see if I could get a sense of there is some truth in this among the women delegates.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi was the keynote and the audience of over 2000 was predominantly women. Speaker Pelosi spoke about the importance of women running for office but took the opportunity to make the case foe Obama.

If the energy and the euphoric cheers in the room are any evidence of where women are on Obama as the Democratic nominee, I would say a couple of things: First, if what the news media states is true then it seems like women are turning around. Second, Speaker Pelosi is an incredibly effective surrogate for the campaign.
