Scaring Suburban Moms...
If you watch TV news in the morning in Chicago, you have likely seen this add from the Democratic Governors Association:
So you would think it's a slam-dunk -- this is going to scare suburban women and they will end up not voting for Bill Brady.
Social issues may not be the key to the suburban mom vote this time around. The question is going to be what will tick off suburban women more?
Will it be Bill Brady's stance on social issues or the millions of dollars the state is behind in paying local school districts? Which is going to have the bigger impact on the moms vote come election day?
When kids return to no music programs and larger classes, will that trump social issue concerns?
I think the school funding issue puts the suburban mom vote into play. It will be interesting to see if the campaigns attempt to capitalize on that.
