See, that's exactly what I mean about the choices out there. I only listed the national-level politicos currently serving in an office, but there are plenty like Whitman who held public office before moving to other things. Experienced women (and men!) who could provide a good mesh, who bring something to the table, who have held their own, and (in the case of those who moved to the private sector) could also demonstrate being in touch with the "real world" the rest of us occupy, y'know, not 100% whole-life-of-public-office, if that's part of the requirements.
I'm not sure whether to look at this election with a bit of excitement at seeing the world change, or to knock myself in the head and hope that's enough to wake me up from this surreal two-step dreamscape of BizarroWorld.
