BlogHer 2007 was my first blogging conference and I must admit I learned more about politics than I bargained for.

My education began with the first Breakout Session for politics, Earn Our Votes: What Questions Do Women Bloggers Want Candidates to Answer In Election 2008?

Sarah Simmons, a Republican party pollster shared statistics about the diversity and trends of female voters both young and old, as well as spoke about how women voters drove the margin for change in the House and Senate in the 2006 elections.
