IN THIS ISSUE THE YEAR OF THE WOMAN...1992 OR 2006???!!! In 1991, the Senate included two female members, but neither Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas nor Barbara Mikulski of Maryland served on the Judiciary Committee, hearing the allegations against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. As a result, on January 3, 1993, for the first time in American history, California became the first state in the nation to be represented in the Senate by two women. A week after the election, a popular Washington Post photograph illustrated the situation. Standing with exultant Democratic Majority Leader George Mitchell were not only Feinstein and Boxer, but also Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois and Patty Murray of Washington. Never before had four women been elected to the Senate in a single election year. >>READ MORE

“Every two years the American politics industry fills the airwaves with the most virulent, scurrilous, wall-to-wall character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country - and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in its politicians.” ~Charles Krauthammer, Washington Post Columnist
