Security Moms Tilting Toward President Bush ALICIA COLON acolon@nysun.com During the 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns, the term “soccer moms” was used to describe predominantly white, suburban, middle- and upper-middle-class, college-educated women with children.The economy was a key factor in those elections, and those women tended to support the Democratic nominee. Post-9/11, those women are now being dubbed “security moms” and are leaning toward reelecting President Bush. Wednesday night’s final presidential debate covered the domestic issues, and the focus in the swing states is still the economy, but many women are finding that their priorities have changed dramatically since the...

Security Moms On a Mission Friday, October 15, 2004 By Liza Porteus NEW YORK — So-called Security Moms (search) are seen by many as a key voting bloc in this year's nail-biter of a presidential election. And although some analysts are skeptical of the influence — or even the existence — of this group of voters, Security Moms told FOXNews.com that they're very real and they're here to stay. "I think it's scoffed at — like we're not an important group and maybe we're not, at this point, a big national group but we are aiming numbers," said Terri Zupancic...

Pollsters Call 'Security Moms' a Myth By Dan De Luce WASHINGTON (WOMENSENEWS)–You can't find them in polling data, but they are supposed to be this year's electoral phenomenon. Meet the so-called "security moms," a pivotal group cited again and again by savvy television analysts and political commentators.

In response to: The myth of 'security moms' By Ellen Goodman | October 7, 2004 – Boston Globe I would have to respectively disagree with your opinion that “Security Moms” are a myth or a suburban legend. I also must wonder just why you and other media are passing the rumors around that Security Moms do not exist? Is there some Democratic strategy out there to keep us quiet? Are people in the media and supporting John Kerry afraid that we may be the deciding factor in this election? I am the founder of Security Moms 4 Bush. A grassroots...

In recent weeks, the media have accepted, largely without question, the notion of "security moms" as the constituency in the 2004 presidential election that the candidates must win over in order to prevail in November. The syllogism the media are complicit in advancing to the benefit of Bush-Cheney '04 goes as follows: Bush outpolls Kerry on terrorism as a campaign issue; this year's "It" constituency -- "security moms" -- cares most about terrorism; therefore, Bush will likely win the support of this crucial constitutency. But there's strong evidence that the notion of the pivotal "security mom" is a myth --...

Media Ignores Security Moms for Bush The media have come up with another new voting block, but though they want to talk about Security Moms, they apparently don't want to talk to them. Nancy Kennon, founder of Security Moms For Bush, told NewsMax the group already has volunteers in almost 40 states - after launching just three months ago. But they might as well be sending their press releases to the Flat Earth Society. "Is it media bias?" Kennon asked. "Even though all the media hype...has been about 'National Security' and the 'so-called Security Moms' we cannot get any press!...
