Issues? Policy? Nah...it's all about "social proof" and Michelle, the mom, and the daughters. And reading this, don't you get the sense that these Wal Mart moms imagine Barack as a beta, a bit hen-pecked, and that they find this....pleasant?
And Romney?
Roissy has from time to time lamented the fact that women have been given the vote. This particular focus group is further evidence, if any were needed, that suffrage has been terrible for our nation.

More women discussed the first daughters more than some of President Barack Obama’s most pronounced policy initiatives aimed at female voters (no mention of Sandra Fluke, the Violence Against Women Act, even the administration’s contraception coverage policy). A young Richmond mother of one simply said, “Michelle is hearing what we have to say.” Another Richmond mom even remarked she believed the president watched out for her because he’s “surrounded by women” at home.
And Romney?

Romney remains largely undefined among these two groups. Millions of dollars later on the Nevada and Virginia airwaves, most of these women only knew a couple of things about the presumptive GOP nominee: He’s a businessman, family man and, per one Richmond participant, “a nice looking man.”
