GOP launches programs to recruit more womenby Aaron Blake at the Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/06/28/gop-launches-programs-to-recruit-more-women/
"SNIP..................................
The Republican State Leadership Committee, meanwhile, launched a program called Right Women, Right Now that pledges to recruit 300 new women to run at the state level.
Both programs are part of the Republican National Committees just-announced Women on the Right Unite campaign, which oversees efforts to promote women by the top six national GOP political committees.
The efforts come as Republicans continue to trail Democrats when it comes to electing women and also as the female vote continues to tilt toward Democrats. Democrats have four times as many women serving in the Senate and three times as many women in the House, and President Obama won the female vote 55 percent to 44 percent last year just one point off his 2008 showing.
Democrats have accused Republicans of waging a war on women and point to efforts in the House and several states to restrict abortion rights.

She'd be perfect. She's a woman, after all.
And such a style trend setter!!! I wonder what she did with the rest of the curtains she used to sew her dress. No comment on the 60's hair.

If those four women had broke ranks and voted with the Democrats the other night then the damn abortion bill would not have passed!
