But, for it to be carried by a woman with a successful high profile career? One that a regretful or embarrassed stay at home mom (who cut her education short to have kids) may envy.

If Obama is going to be perceived as supportive of women he has to be supportive of all of the choices women make.

I had to deal with this with a candidate who was running in an area that covered a lot of rural territory. It took a lot of work to convince the women who had stayed at home to work on the farm and raise the kids that the ambitious female candidate did not look down on them.
