POWELL, Ohio (AP) - Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney declared Saturday that women need our help as he promised to promote women-led businesses should he defeat President Barack Obama in November's election.

The appeal came as the former Massachusetts governor tried to shrug off a series of unwanted distractions before the Republican convention opens Monday in Florida.

Just a word to the women entrepreneurs out there, if we become president and vice president, we want to speak to you, we want to help you, Romney said with running mate Paul Ryan at his side during an outdoor rally that drew an estimated 5,000 people to the Columbus area. Women in this country are more likely to start businesses than men. Women need our help.

While the comments were focused on women entrepreneurs, the promise comes as Romney tries to close Obama's perceived advantage among female voters. Women's issues have played a prominent role in the presidential contest. Republicans faced difficult questions this week about the party's position on abortion after a Missouri Senate candidate suggested that women's bodies can prevent pregnancy in cases of legitimate rape.

1. Yea right, uninformed or just plain crazy females uh huh

A huge % of women know how fucked up the GOP party are towards them. Rape is a sort contraception, assholes.

2. Yep, they really need the Romney Ryan help

Help to tell them what they can and can not do with their own bodies. Help to "force" them to carry a rape baby, or help to "die" instead of having an abortion when the mothers lie is at risk. Sure they need your help Mitt, sure!

3. Yea, uh-huh, you betcha

Reminds me of the fall of '99, a little sawed off shrub, a transplanted yankee Governor from Texas, you know, another son of a spoon up his ass, was running around spewing, "I'm gone change da tone in Washington, and Lo & Behold, changed it to WARshington Big Bidness Rmoney & his gang?, oh they'll take care of you wimmins, alright. Guaranteed..to the front of the line, priority #1, then... they're gonna help the colored people, the gay people, the poor people, the elderly people, yessiree, they gonna help y'all to hell and gone. You GO Willard!, you big hearted, deep pocketed, women lovin' versatile chameleon, Go! Y'all know he's dedicated 20+ hrs. a week to his church for decades, right? That's right!, yes!, decades to his church, so he CAN be trusted He's a saint I tell ya, marchin' in, adapting & flyin' by the seat of his pants, sprinkling magic bidness dust upon the masses to show them the light...the light, the might, the right, the blight, the fright & the plight. My dog blesses Willard...now for that danged rat killin'.
