"Listen To Your Mother" - MOMocrats Asked, Obama Answered

Wednesday April 30, 2008
How powerful are the mom bloggers? Powerful enough for a presidential candidate to listen to them.

Dissatisfied with the last presidential debate, MOMocrats came up with a list of questions they wish had been asked, and sent them to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Obama listened to the mothers...and provided answers to five of the questions.

The bloggers at MOMocrats are understandably proud. It's been the lament of mothers throughout previous generations that nobody listens to Mom. Not this generation.

Hillary Clinton hasn't yet answered the group. Seems she's too old school to 'listen to Mom' and take the query seriously.

I, too, believe that Hillary will answer. The “mom” contingent is pretty strong!
