I can't believe I missed that one. I know they got behind the Betty Sutton and Jennifer Brunner campaigns, with great success. Thanks, Wendy! I can’t believe I missed that one.

I'd also blogged about women in politics and barriers before and had heard of the Project. Well then, the Thurs or Friday before the election, I got an email from She Source saying that Marie Wilson was willing to speak to folks about the election results and I thought, this is what I want to write about! And she was AMAZING. I thoroughly expect for us to keep up and she is very much wanting to be in Ohio for some events. So I'll keep you posted! She's fascinating, Sandy - you should read up a bit more on her when you have the time.<br/><br/>Nah - I didn't try to pitch it anywhere. It was happening too quickly. I do hope that as the PD's online stuff evolves, there might be a market for it or some collaboration. But right now - I don't know that that's really possible. I also would say that the pieces are okay written - but not my best. Sandy – that’s great! do it do it do it!

Jill, this is a fabulous series of blogs. Are they something you tried to place in a magazine, but couldn’t get anyone to take a bite at?
