Mrs. Aristus, R-Washington, is strongly considering voting for Hillary Clinton!

Yes, my wife, the staunch Republican, will likely be voting for the Democratic candidate in 2016. That means for two election cycles in a row, she will not have voted republican for President.

She voted very reluctantly for John McCain in 2008.

She voted, readily if not happily, for Barack Obama in 2012.

If Hillary Clinton gets the nomination (and it looks more and more likely that she will) Mrs. Aristus will vote for her.

She said this evening, after watching a news breakdown of the umpteenth Benghazi hearing yesterday: "We need a woman in the White House."

Naturally, I'm so proud I could split!...

it is always nice when spouses are on the same page. I am still trying to figure out how Carville and Matalin have managed to do it.

a woman in the WH. It is time. That is not my only reason-but one of many.
