Make up your own minds, ladies


Working women with children – the swing vote – why is this segment classified as either Wal-mart moms or hockey or more likely, soccer moms? And why is this segment so flexible or difficult to predict voting-wise? Are working women with children (WWWC) unable to read the paper and/or unable to decide their own political views themselves? Instead they can only identify with a candidate of the female persuasion, even disparate figures as Hillary, Sarah and Michelle and Cindy? Each of these women has a discernible position on politics; they are not interchangeable. So why can’t WWWC just choose to support a candidate who melds with her own views, rather than who shares her genes?

And by the way, I’d like to know why WWWC are declared to be Wal-mart moms, which is possibly about the most opposite of classy you can get. Can’t WWWC be labeled as Macy’s moms, or orchestra moms? Yeah, that’s what I’m talkin’ about.
