Mommification

Besonders bei Clinton war es signifikant, dass er im Studium und den ersten Berufsjahren der dümmere und weniger erfolgreiche war und sie trotzdem für ihn verzichtete, weil ein Mann eben noch mehr Chancen hatte

A new poll, published on Thursday, showed that Obama's long-held lead among women voters had all but vanished as Romney's campaign has enjoyed a remarkable national surge and brought the overall race to a virtual dead heat. After months of leading by double digits among female voters, the AP-GfK survey showed the candidates now tied at 47% among women. Just a month ago Obama's lead had been a huge 16 points. "Often the Democrats have taken the female vote for granted. But this is four years into an economic crisis and the Republicans have hoped to siphon off some of that female support on economic issues," said Katherine Jellison, an expert on women's history at Ohio University.

Michelle Obama and Ann Romney are now a key part of each campaign's fight for women voters. But they are making their pitches to wildly different audiences and in significantly different ways. They are also very different people. One is a black ex-lawyer who once earned far more than her husband. The other is a blonde housewife, devout Mormon and mother of five boys. Mirroring their husbands' polarised campaigns, the efforts of Ann Romney and Michelle Obama are also studies of opposites even as they share the goal of winning the White House.
