The Soccer Mom of 2004 has been updated this election cycle into her colder more pugilistic sister, Sarah the Hockey Mom. But alas for me, I am still longing to see the Art Mom.

Pam Atherton

I don't want someone who believes their biggest asset is that they know what it's like to shop at WalMart and take their kids to hockey practice in a mini-van. How will that help in negotiations and diplomatic missions with other heads of state?
