One group to which the campaigns in both New Jersey and Virginia have paid close attention are woman voters and their success or failure in courting them has shaped the dynamics of each contest, The Politico reports.

In Virginia, Democrat Creigh Deeds had thought he hit gold by pounding Republican Bob McDonnell about a thesis he had written in graduate school saying homosexuals and working women were anti-family. But in the long run, it hasn;t work and Deeds actually trails McDonnell among women by one point, the Politico says.

In New Jersey, where Gov. Jon Corzine leads Republican Christie among women, Corzine has accused Christie of supporting a health insurance policy that would not guarantee coverage for mammograms.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
