5. lets be real, what works in liberal areas doesn't work else where and it doesn't matter

6. Women got the vote in the US in 1920: I think a duo female

ticket would be historic and terrific as a centennial. And because the nation is painfully behind in this area and others. Warren and Harris are undisputed accomplished public figures.
