Romney’s Selection of Robert Bork as Constitutional Advisor May Hamper Effort to Capture Women's Vote

Huffington Post: Mitt Romney's Constitutional Advisor, Robert Bork, Continues the War on Women's Rights, by Jamin Raskin:

Mitt Romney is eager these days to change the subject from what the public sees as his party's "war on women." He seeks to close the huge gender gap that has opened up as women flee the party of Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh in search of something a little less patriarchal and misogynistic.

But Romney's problems with America's women may be just beginning. He can distance himself from the theocratic musings of other Republicans and the macho bullying of Fox News talking heads, but he cannot run away from his own selection of former Judge Robert Bork, in August of last year, to become his principal advisor on the Supreme Court and the Constitution. . . .
