I'm pretty sure women are entitled to run. Somehow, the completely inept Sarah Palin has become a national voice.

Or, Peg Luksik? Or, on a national level.. Sarah Palin? Or, Michelle Bachmann? [I'll answer that - it's 'cuz they weren't/aren't Bikenstock-wearing flaming liberals.. has nothing to do with X/Y chromosomes... they're smart.. they're Conservative.]<br /><br />Caveat - I did not nor would I support Buchannon or Luksik.. the others?

I know of several women that I think should run and would make excellent candidates, but prefer to work behind the scenes.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.brownhouse28.com" rel="nofollow">Dr. Sharon Brown</a> will be running on the Democratic ticket against career politician Mike Turzai. Her chances are pretty slim, but she is very energetic and hardworking. I think she would make a great Representative if given the chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-83938099783919679302010-05-19T16:06:56.460-04:002010-05-19T16:06:56.460-04:00PA ranks shockingly low compared to other states f...PA ranks shockingly low compared to other states for female pols. I don't think that women in PA are somehow so intrinsically different than women in other states so I have to assume it's something in the political culture.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439330154875628083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-23489646678738562272010-05-19T15:12:22.575-04:002010-05-19T15:12:22.575-04:00And how many women were on the ballot?

Here I thought they had to do <i>something</i> in order to get elected, you know, like petition to be on the ballot.
