There was a bit of an uproar after that last ABC debate. I’d say maybe it was only political junkies or those who really pay close attention to politics-but I’d be wrong.

My MOM called me to yell about FlagPins…

So guess what we did over at MOMocrats? Yeah, we took matters into our own hands…and Senator Barack Obama answered.

MOMocrats EXCLUSIVE with Barack Obama

MOMocrats step up where mainstream media and traditional debates let the American public down, “Things we wish they’d asked in the debates…”

Recently, MOMocrats asked the Democratic Presidential candidates the questions we all wish reporters or moderators had asked in any interview or debate. Today, Senator Barack Obama sent back his answers to the MOMocrats’ questions. This is the latest example of the influence political blogging groups are showing in the presidential campaign.

The most recent debate between the Democratic candidates was disappointing to most citizens. We felt that the questions were directed more towards mud slinging between the candidate rather than substantive questions about domestic and foreign policy. So the MOMocrats and their readers came up with a list of “Questions We Wish ABC Had Asked.” Then we submitted them to the candidates.

In a MOMocrats exclusive, Barack Obama answers the questions that should have been asked during the last debate. Click here to read our interview, in which he finally gets to discuss the issues, not his apparel or acquaintances.

“We were really frustrated with the questions that were asked in the last debate so we came up with a list of questions from our contributors and readers,” said MOMocrats Managing Editor Glennia Campbell. “We appreciated that the Obama campaign took our questions seriously and answered them thoroughly.”

We haven’t heard from the Clinton campaign yet, but the MOMocrats invitation for Senator Clinton to weigh in remains open.

I think CityMama says it best, “I don’t have the funds to attend every fundraiser that comes along, but what I do have are 10 fingers, a laptop, and enough marketing savvy to make me dangerous. MOMocrats is my phone banking. It is my check-book-wielding. It is my canvassing neighborhoods. It is all of that on a world-wide scale. Some people drop checks in the mail. I drop knowledge along with 21 other kick-ass women. It is the best way I know how to make change happen.”
