It's women's week on the presidential campaign trail, judging from the attention John McCain and Barack Obama are giving female voters.

McCain is in western Wisconsin today where he's held a women-oriented town hall meeting. McCain is also met with female business owners in Minnesota. The Eau Claire visit is to target small businesses, too.

In Hudson, McCain a held a town hall meeting at J & L Steel Erectors where LouAnne Reger is the CEO. McCain's advance staff settled on J & L after eating at a Hudson deli and spotting the new headquarters.

Reger's company installs reinforced steel for highway construction projects. Crews are currently working on repairing Minneapolis'I-35W bridge that collapsed last summer.

Obama campaigned Thursday in New York with former Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton and held a fundraiser dubbed "Women for Obama."
