hiring and firing staff, overseeing all of those properties. Unless they have someone to do that too. This whole thing calls for a little further look at their actual lifestyle.

Not sure it will help. At home Moms deserve respect. In context though, Ann Mittens is not exactly a typical work-a-day Mom.

Because it's an hour and a half later ant it's...97% to 3%. I would expect it to drift a little.

It was 95% to 5% when I first saw it this afternoon, but it's been 97/3. i found it linked to Drudge so it has a full well of wing nuts hitting it. The way Drudge framed it was "Over 90% side with Anne Romney"

Did she get a regular paycheck? We call folks who don't get a regular paycheck "unemployed" right?

I guess they have joined the "conservobots". The poll really shows how out of touch many on this board are when it comes to raising families. It is a lot of work -- especially when you have MS and breast cancer.

But it is dumb politics to attack stay at home moms no matter what their financial means.

Is raising a family alot of work? Well yeah.

It was worded in a way to make Hillary Rosen the bad one here.
I say - don't bother.

and were really interested in what people think they would print the entire thing and then ask if she appears to be saying that raising a family is not hard work.

Even the so-called legitimate media likes to divide us by twisting facts.
