Reply #1: well, you may be pleasantly surprised with the "mainstream" ones. [View All]

I've had two kids, and each time, I went with the list found at www.iparenting.com (formery pregnancytoday, or something like that). The first time, my list was huge--about 80-90 women (okay, maybe that's not huge). Many of them seemed very intelligent, professional, interesting. After the babies were born, about 20 of us broke off to form a smaller, more political group. Almost all of us are die-hard liberals. Yeah, we discuss paint color, but we also talk about immunizations, circumcision, homeschooling, etc.

My other list only has about 25 women on it to begin with, and is mostly apolitical, but the few times politics is discussed, a bunch of us come out as liberals.

A friend of mine goes to some political moms boards, but she complains that most of the women there are freepers. Bleh.

Another possibility--do a search at yahoogroups for your criteria. You might be able to find a localized group of liberal women. I found one here in Houston for liberal Houston mamas.

Good luck, and big congrats on your pregnancy! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me whenever. I've got more free, unsolicited advice than you can imagine. :P
