McCain Town Hall in Hudson, WI

Sen. John McCain is hosting a woman-only town hall meeting this coming Friday in Hudson, WI, not far from the Twin Cities where the GOP will hold its convention this September. Tribune:

McCain's town hall, to include his wife, Cindy McCain, will focus on the economic challenges faced by women in business. It is at J&L Steel Erectors in Hudson, just across the St. Croix River from Minneapolis-St. Paul. [snip]

Women are the most important block of swing voters in the nation and have more political power in this election than ever before, McCain spokeswoman Leah Yoon said. Women support McCain because of his economic plan, which will provide immediate relief to families with lower gas and food prices, she said.

Women can especially relate to that because they frequently are the ones managing budgets for the home and businesses, Yoon said.

Obama may lead among women over all, but married women are key for McCain, and some Hillary voters may stay home or are looking for a home.
