This looks to be an interesting conversation, should be a neat event. Look forward to the post-coverage of it.

She will sit down with Elizabeth Edwards, Michelle Obama, Jeri Thompson, Cindy McCain and Ann Romney for an intensely personal discussion about the effects of politics and the changing roles of women and families. (Former President Bill Clinton bowed out because of a schedule conflict, sources said, and Judith Giuliani was the sole spouse of a top-tier candidate who declined the invitation.)
The gathering scheduled for Tuesday is already the buzz of Shriver’s annual Governor’s and First Lady’s Conference on Women at the Long Beach Convention Center, which also will feature Mexico’s first lady Margarita Zavala, wife of President Felipe Calderon. The conference sold out 14,000 seats in record time this year.
And even regal Ann Romney, wife of GOP hopeful Mitt Romney and mother of five, has found herself in the spotlight - about her past $150 donation to Planned Parenthood.
