Hillary will probably run in 2016 so there is a big woman vote unless Republicans can counter somehow.
I think Chris Christy is a fantastic candidate (as does probably everyone else)

The republican trouble with women runs deeps and could only get deeper. Republicans will always be pro-life and that is fine. There are plenty of pro-life women. What we saw in this election cycle is that many republicans seem to be anti-contraception for women and just a basic attitude towards women that their job is produce the babies, cook the food and keep quiet. It isn't 1950 and that attitude won't cut it anymore.
I remember not too long ago seeing an interview with some high ranking republican (I can't remember who it was) and he was asked if insurance companies should be forced to pay for women's birth control. He said no because having sex is a choice not a symptom. When he was then asked if they should have to pay for Viagra he said yes. When asked why he felt that way he said Viagra actually fixes a problem, never mind that the problem only comes around if you make a choice. That kind of thinking makes them look out of touch.
