This presidential election, the women's vote is more important than ever. History shows they cast more ballots than men, and have been the deciding factor in several of the most recent elections.
     But after last night's debate, all some people took away was when Governor Romney's said, "I went to a number of women's groups and said can you help us find folks? And they brought us whole binders full of women."
     Except for the brief exchange about abortion in the Vice Presidential debate, it's the first time in these debates that specific women's issues even got addressed, which leaves many political analysts confused.
     Since 1980, a higher percentage of women voters cast ballots than men. Women also hold the advantage in total number of voters. In the 2008 election, a staggering 10 million more women voted than men.
     We spoke with Joy Miedecke who helps to run the office of the East Valley Republican Women Federated, who said, "We women are in it just like the men, and you know our issues shouldn't be any more important than the men's issues, what ever those might be. I mean I just, I just can't understand why everybody is making such a big deal of it."
     But not everyone feels specific women's issues have been given their due time from the candidates. Priscilla Richardson of the Democratic Women of the Desert told us, "One of the things that have been lacking from the presidential debates has been a real concerted emphasis on the women's issues that are so absolutely critical to us this year. There have been a couple of questions but certainly not enough."
     Regardless of whether you think women's issues deserve more time or not, the gender gap in voters is likely to be similar this November. Women will be the deciding factor in who will be in the oval office for the next four years.
