I just notice, it seems like alot more women are running and could win senate/governor races and alot of them are Republican women. Could 2010 be the start of something new for Republican women?
There is a lot of opportunity for Republican women in the Northeast, simply because being a woman makes you look more moderate (or makes it "more okay" that you're pro-life). You simply can't run a statewide Gov/LG ticket up here without one of the candidates being a woman.
Also you have states like: NC, GA, TN, OK and FL who all have women running or could run for higher office like Senate/Governor seats.
