I do wonder whether what women have been through, means that they show up as rage moms, come this midterm. or if just like they dont have the time to go to work, because they are caring for everyone in their house. if it also discounts them out of the political process? did you get a sense as you were talking to all of the parents about how this is translating into the political out look? >> i think its varied. moms are not a mont lif. they are not uniform in the political ideas they hold. or re...
