A battle for the women's vote has become a major issue in this campaign so we ought -- -- For that reason the left is jumping all over a Mitt Romney for his comment that he -- -- Tuesday's debate.

I recognize that if you're gonna have women in the workforce that sent us a need to be more flexible.

My chief of staff for instance I had two kids that we're still in school she said I can't be here until 7 or 8 o'clock at night.

I need to be able to get home at 5 o'clock so I can be there for -- -- for my kids and being with them when they get on preschool so we said fine.

Let's have a flexible schedules so you can have hours -- work for you.

-- that statement offensive.

Once it really.

-- walk Cullum radio host and the get this mother of six joins us right now we don't.

It's better by the way as I would just better meeting the mother of six the columnists the whole I mean you're like that part that you try to engage -- accomplice.

Are you offended -- my offended on behalf of my husband who likes to come home and help with -- as well this is not one parent households and the fact that the parents both new flex time.

Its responsibility for both of them for the fact that that.

Mitt Romney.

Might feel argues that as his anecdote is really a poor choice that would what is it.

A lot of women do come home from willow could cook dinner for the -- among them do that while they offended when a presidential candidate says they don't look at usable flexible times they can do that -- I'm not going to.

Denied that Mitt Romney is mr.

October he has had a phenomenal phenomenal month.

But out of all opportunities to hit it home with women voters undecided women voters are watching that debate why in the world to go there know what -- the left.

This picking up on this desperate for an issue desperate for way to cultivate the women's votes in this at all you wicked sexist.

Look what you're -- you're implying that only women go home and cook the different -- holiday need special help.

That's ridiculous I think at the bottom line is is that it possibly shows.

That Mitt Romney is still out of touch.

With what women want and the truth of the story watch -- let me tell you still out of tell me what women want when you listen to both and I have to tell you after watching the debate the other night I would watch that rather watch my yankees that's Phillips that I was after watching both candidates give answers.

To -- -- knew was coming.

I'm Clinton nothing that minded don't know what happened in the next four or eight years do you know anything more about my future and I did before the debate started.

Madam you and they -- he should and he will know it bought bought mr.

Romney has not brought up has not addressed equal pay directly.

So if I'm avoiding this he might be avoiding that all let's bring up that she able affectionately.

Nice very nice reference -- -- -- that I was -- -- declare and the west wing reference if you are west wing.

No I'm okay okay.

-- was.

Analyst Sheila thank you very much -- -- this equal pay for women.

We have told repeatedly by the president and his question at the second debate but women unless -- than 17%.

-- told.

Okay that's compounding.

Apples and oranges if you compare women doing this job with men doing the same job working the same -- they -- just about the same effects -- women you know.

Uneven mall the -- you think -- Obama comment yesterday he wants to make sure that his daughter's.

That equal pay was with a valid comment -- are we really worried that somebody with a last name Obama is gonna get a raw deal when they get older.

We're talking about my daughters were talking about your daughters for -- talking about.

Normal everyday American families and I think is a concern that still think this is Mitt Romney a sexist now.

He was -- ahead.

He made a bed lifeless and every act that is not going to be a home run it was a poor choice of an anecdote who -- -- of this first story and it was a bad comment.

That's why you -- broad President Obama again I know it's a secret ballot until I am not not now -- -- -- on the it's always good to see them -- him a spirited and lively discussion was there but if you think -- -- -- spirit a place.
