Is this woman a Democrat?: Woman coaching child to ask tough questions of Perry

This is a very mislabeled piece. It should really be labeled as Democratic activist gets kid to ask her question for her.

At the end of this video you can hear the woman twice telling the child to ask Perry: "Ask him why he doesn't believe in science. Ask him why he doesn't believe in science." Wouldn't it have been useful for ABC News to ask this woman where she is coming from on the political spectrum? Or even if she were a Democratic operative? I thought at first that the child might be the woman's son, but the way that she turned away and seemed to leave the child behind after the question was asked makes me wonder if she isn't the Mom.
