Barack Obama is showing off his ability to woo women … voters.

Speaking at a campaign event Saturday at Bethune-Cookman University in Florida, the Democratic Presidential candidate sang the title line from the song "I’m Every Woman" in trying to describe his wife Michelle to a room of mostly female voters. When he broke out into the orginal Chaka Khan song, which was made popular by Whitney Houston, he was on stage with other women politicians, including Gov. Janet Napolitano, D-AZ, and Gov. Kathleen Sebelieus, D-KS.

"I’ve seen Michelle juggle work and parenting with more skill and grace than anyone I know. She’s like that Chaka Khan song," he said before breaking down into a little beat.

The song was not only an attempt to make the would-be First Lady swoon, as CBS News’s Maria Gavrilovic points out. It was also a move to attract female voters. According to the new Miami Herald poll, McCain has a slight two-point edge in the critical voting state, Florida (47 to 45 percent). In a recent Lifetime poll conducted September 11-15, women ages 18-34 chose the Obama/Biden ticket as more empathetic to their needs, while women aged 35-64 went for McCain/Palin. About 25 percent of the women who supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY, in the Democratic primaries now said McCain and Palin have a better grasp of women’s needs than Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, D-DE.
