"Whoa! Even Romney's Scripted Binder Story Was a Lie!", Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future website at: http://ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2012104218/whoa-even-romneys-scripted-binder-story-was-lie

So now the facts are beginning to emerge. And once again the facts differ from what Romney said.

According to Maria Cardona writing at CNN,

A study by the University of Massachusetts and the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy shows that the percentage of women in senior positions during his tenure actually declined. It went from 30% when Romney took office to 27% when he left and up to more than 33% after the new governor took over.

Again: The percentage of women in senior positions went down under Romney. Romney undermined the gains women had made.

But Wait There's More

Turns out that Romney didn't even ask aides to look for qualified women as he said in his prepared statement at the debate, women's groups brought the binders to him. He did not go to a number of women's groups as he claimed. He did not ask for the binders. They came to him, he did not seek them out.

The remark did not accomplish what he’d hoped. In fact, it tipped the hand of Romney’s women panic so thoroughly that it’s likely his court-the-undecided-females’ game is now thrown.

Plus, it misses the mark of normalcy so absolutely that he comes off as comical. No wonder it became a meme on Twitter and other social media sites.

Just in case the humor seems opaque, let me offer a binder full of analysis.The remark did not accomplish what he’d hoped. In fact, it tipped the hand of Romney’s women panic so thoroughly that it’s likely his court-the-undecided-females’ game is now thrown.
