Romney, Ryan reach out to female voters ahead of convention..bwahahahahahahaa
POWELL, Ohio-- With less than 48 hours to go before the opening of the Republican nominating convention in Tampa, Mitt Romney's mind was on President Obama's speech four years ago as he addressed a rally Saturday in a swing county in Ohio. Romney called then Senator Obama's speech "brilliant," but assailed the president for failing to match results to his rhetoric.
He predicted more of the same at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C., next week.
"He will have all sorts of promises to offer again. He'll tell you how much better things are now, but you know this time we have more than just the words. We have the record," Romney told roughly 5,000 supporters Saturday morning. "And we understand the big gap there is between what he promises and what he hopes and what he actually delivers. And that's why this November the people of Ohio are going to make sure we get a Republican in the White House and take back America."
The attack on Obama's convention rhetoric comes as Romney prepares his own address to the nation -- a speech he told a conservative radio host Friday night he has yet to complete. And, as his campaign looks to refocus on the economy and a crucial demographic group where he trails President Obama: women.

According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released earlier this week, Obama is still beating Romney among several key parts of his political base, including women. Romney trails the president by 10 percent -- 41 percent to 51 percent. Back in 2008, the female vote helped propel Obama to victory over Republican candidate John McCain. Obama captured 56 percent of the female vote four years ago, according to exit polls.
