Dir Christine Todd Whitman is rarely height, that women for their vote, because she is a woman. But it has recently been coming more competitive in their difficult race for re-election, standing in the chill this morning to dedicate a new mobile mammography unit here and its support for a law to cover the insurers up to 72 hours after the recovery in a hospital after a mastectomy.

”Some people in the media - some of the lords of the press - were referring to a simple mastectomy,”told a crowd of people, especially women, the memory of the debates, if the law been adopted earlier this year. ”I said, “Only a man can do. There is nothing, what would you say a simple mastectomy.”

If Mrs. Whitman’s appeal to women voters are more direct than their usual style, there are good reasons: For all those who speak as a race closely, it is between her and his Democratic opponent, James E. McGreevey, several polls Note What Women. Whitman has done something better than this year, it began four years ago with women - a powerful constituency in New Jersey, was far from being as it supports than men.

The so-called differences between the sexes, the tendency of women to identify more with issues of democracy, afflicts Republican candidate for the nation, even moderate women like Mrs. Whitman. While polls in New Jersey, the race is very different, their campaign includes women as part of the electorate, where they can make profits, perhaps solid waste, in a certain way, it is rare, even for Republican women.

”As long as we continue the male voice, anything we can do to decrease or increase in our numbers for women, it is much more difficult for Jim McGreevey to make steam,’’said Tom Wilson, campaign manager.

One unresolved issue is whether it makes profits with women suffer losses they are perhaps with Republican conservatives, with their support in 1993, but now they seem unsatisfied by the more moderate position in issues like abortion.

McGreevey’s campaign says that all the gains women are marginal and undecided voters, that companies in traditionally favor Democrats on matters of crucial importance for women.

It begins par”l’attrait superficial, a woman, it takes time for Jim McGreevey to draw by far,’’said Richard McGrath, a spokesman for McGreevey. ”But we in this way, and the fact that we already since the turn of the volume on education in recent weeks, help really clear distinction.”

The two campaigns are fighting for the votes of undecided women, including several researchers to determine public opinion, like most young, women work less than facts, a group of Mrs. Whitman has traditionally not done well. Mr. McGreevey discussions on improving the education of academic standards, demand kindergarten full-time scholarships and stresses issues such as motor insurance surveys show that women mind.

In recent weeks, several, Mrs. Whitman has worked for women in the voting on several fronts. She has a woman for Whitman Rally Olympia J. Snowe, United States Senator from Maine. You released with television ads praising his daughter as a good mother. Today it is in Atlantic City with other guests, if more conservative Republican woman, Elizabeth Dole, wife of Bob Dole and the president of the American Red Cross.

Mrs. Whitman presented a series of paradoxes as candidates: on the one hand, it was not considered as a true defender of Ms. Snowe on women’s issues, researchers and opinion believe that their government to reductions have not played well with many women. On the other hand, it has a lot of appointments of women to high-level and a strong position on abortion, vetoing a bill banning a form of the concept of late abortion.

”I think it really has built his image as someone, a governor, not a woman governor,’’said Susan Carroll, Senior Research Associate for the Center for American Women and Politics at the Rutgers University.

In their race for governor four years ago, interviews with voters in the polls showed that 53 percent of women voted for Democrat in place, Jim Florio, and 47 percent voted for it. You have something bad for women in their race for Senate in 1990, 54 percent of women voted for the candidate Bill Bradley, and 46 percent for it.
