"Despite all the fireworks over taxes, oil and Libya, the most buzz-worthy social-media moment of Tuesday night's presidential debate was Republican nominee Mitt Romney's comment about 'binders full of women,' " ABC News reported on its website.
Responding to a question about equal pay for women, the former Massachusetts governor recalled questioning why there weren't women candidates for his Cabinet.
