The GOP's Sudden Female Candidate Syndrome
by LeanneB, SheKos editor
Something rather strange is happening in the Republican party this year. Andrew Sullivan referred to it (with, importantly, a question mark) as "a shot of estrogen." In the coming mid-term elections, the party that previously couldn't really be bothered to even pay lip service to women as serious players in their sandbox has suddenly shown a change of heart, fielding 14 female candidates for the Senate and a whopping 97 Republican women running for the House.
And there are similarly lots of women running for local and state offices all over the country.
