Romney and Obama compete for women's votes in Ohio

Could women be the key to winning the presidency? With less than a week to go before election day in the United States, President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney are back on the campaign trail. And in Ohio, the swing
state that could decide everything, the Romney campaign is pushing for women's votes, with his wife, Ann, playing a prominent role in rallies. Romney needs these votes: a poll on Wednesday showed that nationwide, women favour Obama by seven points.

One voter Romney can definitely count on is Mary Leavitt.
Open the door to her Columbus shop and you are greeted with patriotic music. Inside, it's a world of flags: the Stars and Stripes, the Ohio state flag, University of Ohio pennants - even a little French flag, among the flags of the world.
"I'm the Flag Lady!" she says.
