The number of blogs dedicated to women discussing and hashing out issues important to mothers seems to be growing everyday — The Soccer Mom Vote, DC Metro Moms Blog, BlogHer, MomsRising and, yes, a little plug for myself over at PunditMom’s Spin Cycle. We’re trying so hard with the right words to express ourselves. But it seems that it’s only when we use our ‘mean girl’ words that we get the attention.

I don’t know of a many news outlets pounding down our doors to learn why we want to express our political views or what those views are. I don’t hear the presidential candidates getting many questions about whether they’re listening to women even when they say we are the key to victory in 2008.

So why is that? Is it my cat fight theory all over again?

Or is it time to adopt the ‘if we can’t beat ‘me, join ‘em’ philosophy.

If we can find a way to make our political views look like a cat fight, maybe we’d be getting some calls from Good Morning, America.

Or is there another way? Help me out here — I’m losing my patience!
