The Obama campaign is hoping to train an army of women at the DNC's national issues conference in Washington, D.C., later this month.

The two-day convention will include remarks by President Obama and strategy meetings on American women, values and the 2012 election as well as economic security and strengthening the middle class.

Confirmed training sessions include: "Talking to Your Neighbor: Persuading Women Voters," "Digital Organizing: Effective Social Media Strategies," "Talking about the President’s Accomplishments," and "Crafting Your Personal Narrative."

Recent polls have shown women are flocking to Obama over GOP hopeful Mitt Romney by a jaw-dropping 60-30 percent in battleground states, spurring predictions that women could be to Obama in 2012 what young people were to Obama in 2008.

The White House also is targeting women with a forum on Friday
