Hockey Moms All Over the Nation
Well one thing is for sure. I am glad someone is FINALLY addressing all us hockey moms out here. Yea, my girlfriend, Monique who lives in a rough part of LA? Her son was shot in a gang shooting accidentally (it grazed his shoulder) and it was while they were on their way to yup--you got it--hockey practice. Yea, Mom's all over the nation after working their three jobs all day and picking their kids up from day care or grandma and trying to put together a meal if at all and doing the laundry at the laundramat and fighting with the Dad who is 3 months behind on his child support and the car with the muffler hang off of it and the 12 year old who is facing detention yet again and the rent that just went up and the closed library and parks and the price of milk at the grocery store going to $4 for a half gallon and the cousin that's in jail again for passing bad checks--yea, they all play hockey in inner city LA Sarah. You got this demography thing down pat girlfriend. Yea, every single woman in this country is white, upper class, and rushes their little "Track" is it (?) to hockey practice. Sure. You got it.
Finally, someone who really knows the heart and soul of our nation.

If your point is that poor people in the inner city have little in common with Palin, absolutely. But plenty of kids in cold places, yes, mostly white, but also mostly middle and working class, play hockey.
I don't want to make more of your short post than I should, but this is the kind of thing that divides working people and doesn't help the progressive or populist cause.
