'War on women' may have helped Democrats; Senate has record number of women

[randomtasks]

The Year of the Woman, 1992, was declared a triumph when the number of women in the Senate increased to six.

This year, the so-called "War on Women" energized Democrats to break a record for the number of women-held seats in the Senate. Nineteen women are in the Senate now, one more than the record set during the last Congress.

Ryan's still kept his seat in Wisconsin, I hear?

Technically Paul Ryan is still in his house seat, though he did lose the VP slot.

But....how? All House seats go up for grabs every two years. Was he actually re-running for his House seat the same time he was on the VP slot? They're allowed to do that?

*grumpyface*

Some states allow it and some don't. It just so happens that Wisconsin allows it. :-/

Yeah, he's still in Congress. But hopefully they can oust him in 2014.

Six and a half out of seven... I like this. Not perfect, but hey Ryan's shit up a creek with none of his buddies to back him up.

I am imagining all the delicious shade these ladies can throw at him.

pundits think that Ryan can still turn it around

[jazzypom]

And come back in 2016 with his name recognition and whatnot. I hope he gets royally drummed out in 2014, just to show that these rights will not last.
