[...] Do it do it do it do it do it. I know you can. Raise that ratio to 10% – the GOP’s female representation in the Ohio State Senate goes from less than 5% to almost 10% with one seat. Come.On.

Nick – you are absolutely right about those three and it’s amazing to think what our state legislature would look like without them. Can you imagine how S.C. has not a single woman in its state senate!? That is just so bizarre to me.

I know that there’s been talk about a women’s PAC of some type, and on a different note, Lisa Renee and I have (it was her idea I have to say though) chatted about creating and funding – somehow, ha! – a scholarship to encourage female political bloggers.

There’s just always more we could be doing. Hopefully, we will.

Jill, I’m encouraged by three women candidates for the Ohio House who eeked out small leads on Tuesday: Marian Harris (340 votes), Nancy Garland (783 votes), and Debbie Phillips (170 votes). I’m thinking of holding a fundraiser for the “Landslide Ladies” next year. Hopefully their wins will hold up and encourage other women to run.
