Speaking of Jill ...

her presentation from this past weekend's White House Project conference about why women should run for office is worth checking out.

We still need to work on getting the state Democratic party to treat women with a little more respect. (I can't speak for the Republicans). That would help a lot. The entire situation with the secretary of state race in which several women were treated like pawns, and women voicing their concerns about a candidate were brushed off was problematic. The lack of women in party leadership in Cuyahoga County is not encouraging either. We need to work on changing those things so women will feel their bids for office will be supported as much as men's.

Thanks for noting

Thanks very much. I guess the best news is that this all keeps me fired up. Now to just get some more energy - where do I go for that again? :)
