Yesterday I heard a speaker at the Women Lawyers Association talk about gettting more women to run for office here in our state, and she was very pumped about the possibility of having our first woman senator. After such enthusiasm, I find this deeply depressing. Eight minutes of nothing but platitudes and dodging the question.
Now clearly, I will vote for her. I would vote for pretty much anyone who could remove Senator Droopy Dawg from office and fill out the Senate majority to keep the lunatics* from running the asylum. But will I give her money? Put up a yard sign? Knock on doors? No, I will not. I am distinctly unexcited.
* Now, "lunatics" does not refer to all members of the opposing party. There used to be lots of sane conservatives, but unfortunately the other party doesn't seem to elect them any more and there are many fewer than there used to be.
