If you acknowledge that there is a 30% critical mass that women need to reach in federal governments before their concerns are addressed on a societal level, you probably also acknowledge that the United States has not come close to reaching that goal. Only 17% of our Congressional representatives are women at the present time. [...]

Mike Huckabee is disgusted that Democrats might use Ted Kennedy’s Death to push through healthcare reform, therefore politicizing his death.
