I don't think we added any Repubs to either house.Bevulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149567712622402005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850048301451111235.post-84258522337814449592010-11-04T13:53:51.558-08:002010-11-04T13:53:51.558-08:00OK Bev, I'll make an exception for you, but on...OK Bev, I'll make an exception for you, but only for you.

Plenty of progressives, though.Bevulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149567712622402005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3850048301451111235.post-14756221312744083332010-11-03T09:13:01.457-08:002010-11-03T09:13:01.457-08:00That has often been my practice as well and I thin...That has often been my practice as well and I think we do have to do our homework better from now on.<br /><br />Update: next session I will be represented in the legislature by two conservative women, one of them a total whackadoo (not her policies, her character).

When I got to the backside of the ballot, where the names all begin to blur, given a choice where the only thing I knew was gender, I chose the woman. For some of the reasons you mentioned. For some of the same reasons that micro-finance prefers to lend $$ to women. But some of the recent women candidates on the far right have made me reconsider that practice. Now I'm looking closer at judges and other minor candidates.Heatherhttp://nagoonberry.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
