Ladies, congrats on being coveted. Both presidential campaigns and most pundits agree that women are some of the most sought-after voters in this election. But for all the shout-outs to the ailing grandmothers and hardworking moms of America, it’s not totally clear what’s at stake for women in 2012. We might all agree that women are an important voting bloc, but there’s little consensus on which issues and priorities we collectively care about.
