Number of female senators after 2016 elections?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

I was incredibly disappointed when I saw "Number of female... by The Arizonan" and that was the post.

I was going to say much of the same as angry - Gojack was years ago. Even if Berkley wasn't corrupt (a bit subjective), Heller was a very, very good candidate. 1 case does not make a trend. People try to do the same thing with Coakley in Massachusetts. The same woman lost twice. She is horrible. That doesn't make the voters sexist.

I know legislature compositions are used to enhance that argument, but I seriously don't believe people vote for legislature by sex. The candidates as such a low level are a direct result of the parties' choices. You'd have to put the blame there rather than on voters.

You made a good point about Coakley. She wasn't a very good candidate. What about the 2002 gubernatorial election in which the Democrats ran a non-Coakley candidate?

$$$$$ - Not only Romney being unlimited, but O'Brien having zero because the primary was ultra-competitive, and there was no time to reload the war chest because MA has their primary at the last possible practical date.

Romney was also pro-choice. Remember when that was a thing.

And forum fave Jilly Stein didn't completely spoil it, but a woman getting 3.5% as a 3rd party candidate shows that it wasn't so much anti-woman bias.

I know Romney didn't run a good campaign at all, but he didn't in 2012 yet he got nominated for President despite massive hatred from the party base. Again, money solves a lot of problems - even the ones it creates.
