CNN Pulls Reports Claiming Women's Vote Tied to Ovulation

"Some elements of the story did not meet the editorial standards of CNN."

Hey, maybe that's why the Obama campaign uses that big "O" on their logo.

Yesterday, as Julie Moos reports over at Poynter.org's Mediawire, CNN posted a story on its Web site citing unpublished research suggesting that how a woman votes is affected by whether she is ovulating on Election Day.

The network has since removed the post, and replaced it with one explaining "some elements of the story did not meet the editorial standards of CNN."
