Binders Full of Women? Really??

The blogosphere's having a lot of fun with Mitt's "binders full of women" story in last night's debate, but the real news is that the story as he told it isn't true. There were indeed binders with information about qualified professional women, but they weren't put together at the request of Mitt Romney. As outlined by Boston political reporter David S. Bernstein, non-partisan groups were gathering information about qualified women before the 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial election even took place. The binders were presented to Mittens shortly after he was elected.
