It should have been a good week for Mitt Romney, winning three important primary elections so decisively that people began to talk about when, not if, he would wrap up his White House nomination.
He won among strong conservative and evangelical voters, stripping Rick Santorum, his only plausible remaining Republican rival, of his rationale to soldier on.
But for the contest against President Barack Obama that lies ahead, Romney received ominous news as well. Polls in the key states where the battle for the White House will be decided showed Obama ahead of him for the first time, by nine percentage points.
And if that were not enough, the same polls showed he has a significant women problem: among them, Obama's lead in the battleground states was exactly twice as large.
