She'll bring in independents and women from the GOP who will quietly vote for her while lying to their sexist husbands.

Funny how no one complains about 'dynasties' when Segolene Royale runs for the presidency of France, loses, and then her erstwhile partner, the father of her four children, runs against the guy who beat her and wins.

No one griped when we had two Roosevelts in the White House. "W"--turd that he was--was related to two presidents; his 'deddy' and Franklin Pierce.

I guess it's only problematic when a woman jumps in the mix. Then the howling begins....
