I saw one <a href="http://www.suntimes.com/news/marin/1080942,CST-EDT-Carol30.article" rel="nofollow">suggesting he's weak among women voters</a>, when he's currently <a href="http://www.reddit.com/comments/6u6os/top_of_column_obama_has_a_woman_problem_bottom_of/c04vog1" rel="nofollow">polling better</a> than historical Democratic presidential candidates. It's also funny to see Republicans attack his "celebrity". Guess they've forgotten all about Schwarzenegger and Reagan. There seem to be a lot of “Obama Won’t Win Because [Completely Nonsensical Reason]” articles lately. I saw one suggesting he’s weak among women voters, when he’s currently polling better than historical Democratic presidential candidates. It’s also funny to see Republicans attack his “celebrity”. Guess they’ve forgotten all about Schwarzenegger and Reagan.
