To Be Announced...

Whenever a woman runs for high political office there's always the question of whether or not voters will support electing a woman. Either that, or the suggestion that we don't have enough women in high office because we're a bunch of sexist pigs. News like what is linked below doesn't help.

Fair share legislation looks like it is on permanent hold after a closed door meeting of Democrats. I don't think it can be brought back to life given the tone of the DSM Register story. Maybe they're finally seeing that it ain't playin' too well in the general public...

Democrats postpone action on 'fair share'

Democratic leaders in the Iowa House unexpectedly postponed Thursday's "fair share" debate after meeting in private for four hours and concluding they no longer had enough votes to pass the bill.

Three Democrats departed the Capitol grounds during the meeting, and one just before it.

Rep. Dawn Pettengill, a Democrat from Mount Auburn, who has told Republicans she opposes the fair share proposal, had tears on her face when she left the room where Democrats were meeting in private, according to Republican lawmakers she passed in the hallway.

Those ball bats hurt, don't they?

And Rep. McKinley Bailey, a Democrat from Webster City, walked out in frustration, got into his car, and drove out of the Capitol parking lot, he said.

Bailey came back awhile later and said he'd left the meeting because it was "pointless."

"I love this party, but I don't always agree with it," Bailey said. "If I were in charge, I would maybe run things differently."

Differently how? Fewer broken kneecaps?
