consideration I have been really liking this idea. People that won't vote for women, won't vote for Clinton whether there is another woman on the ticket or not. Strong voices of women to be heard all this time, would be great. One of the nifty I have seen in this primary, is so many of the voices are women, and that has been a blast.

Optically, it will not have the image of the man, VP, being in the supportive role we see so much with women, but two women in autonomy.

The glass ceiling not only broken, or shattered, but obliterated.

I have since really come to love the idea of two woman ticket.
