Are we looking at more than 100 years before women finally reach parity in Congress? According to a new report out by the Institute for Women's Policy Research, if nothing changes about how candidates to Congress are pipelined, it will be 2121 before women, who currently make up 20 percent of Congress, finally get up to a full 50 percent.

Too soon. Although there are more Republicans than Democrats in Congress, there are 76 women Democrats and 23 women Republicans, which should convince everybody that Clinton won't get many Republican votes.

There are currently 4 Republican female governors and 1 Democrat female governor. One of those 4 Republican female governors is even a minority!

I guess this proves that Republicans like women and minorities more than Democrats do.
