I think the word "Hockey mom" actually shows us how DIFFERENT Palin is from normal moms....even normal sports moms.
I lived all my youth in SLC, and never once was able to go skiing. It was just too expensive for my family. Same with water skiing. We didn't know anyone who had a boat, and couldn't aford one ourselves. The same is true for hockey. Just the uniforms can kill the pocketbook.
Soccer, baseball, basketball, on the other hand are sports that "poor" kids can play and join.
Believe me, "soccer mom" is worlds away from "Hockey mom"
After all, how many "moms" have had the opportunity of flying around in a small plane shooting wolves?
That's the big difference.
