How will the votes of “maxed-out moms” affect the US election?
It’s now common for political parties to battle over the support of a carefully targeted group of women voters. In 2000 it was the soccer moms and in 2004 it was the defence moms. This year the female demographic that Obama and McCain are chasing is the "maxed-out moms".
