Good news, bad news
USA Today had an interesting piece yesterday on how Americans feel about a woman being president--on television and in the real world.
The good news:
Commander in Chief is the most-watched new show this season.
The bad news:
People like this actually exist...
"I don't believe a woman should be in charge," says Brandy Ruliffson, 24, a stay-at-home mother of three in Allen, Texas, who was among those called in the USA TODAY survey. "Men should be in charge of that stuff."Ugh.
Thankfully, Brandy is in the minority. The White House Project reports that nearly eighty percent of Americans are ready for a woman president.

"Commander in Chief is the most-watched new show this season."
Hooray! :) I'm glad, I was concerned it would get axed before the end of the first season.
That statistic is heartening, too. Are we much more progressive as a nation than we realize?
All this is wonderful, but I guess I'll believe it when a woman actually *is* in the Oval office.
