iVillage's New Political Hub, 'Voice Your Choice' - Launches Featuring Behind-the-Scenes Video from the Obama & McCain Campaigns

Englewood Cliffs, NJ (PRWEB) October 6, 2008 -- iVillage, the first online community of women, launched 'Voice Your Choice' (http://www.ivillage.com/voiceyourchoice) to give women a place to connect about the election with vibrant message boards, links to insightful blogs and related content, and open forums for discussion.

At 'Voice Your Choice', get an exclusive look at Barack and Michelle Obama (http://www.ivillage.com/voiceyourchoice) in "Four Days in Denver," a revealing and heart-warming video about their experience at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Produced by campaign videographers with unprecedented access, it starts with Michelle's speech on Monday and concludes with footage of Barack's Thursday evening address. Along the way, there are special family moments and candid scenes of the Obama family.

'Voice Your Choice' also features fascinating footage from the McCain/Palin (http://www.ivillage.com/voiceyourchoice) campaign, including videos on Cindy McCain's work with The HALO Trust, where she is a board member. The HALO Trust is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to removing landmines from countries devastated by war. These up-close videos follow Cindy on her trips to Cambodia and Kosovo, visiting the compounds and minefields where the HALO Trust teams do their great work under difficult circumstances.

It's not news that women are a strong force in this election, representing 54 percent of the vote. And for over a decade, women of all ages, from the newly pregnant to budget-conscious moms of teens, have come to iVillage's community boards to discuss topics ranging from child raising to cooking for their families to dealing with a spouse's military deployment - to Sarah Palin (http://www.ivillage.com/s2f/emaillinkform/?targetURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eivillage%2Ecom%2F0%2C%2Cdl7gbqnj%2C00%2Ehtml). iVillage is in the unique position of having deep insight into what these 'real' women - the ones who worry about gas prices and the cost of childcare - really care about (hint: now more than ever, it's about managing the household bills and getting through the month.)
