Subject: Re: Krugman Nails It
I would hope it's not true, but it probably is: women don't seem to trust other women in positions of power. So they don't vote for them. Offhand, I can't think of a single woman (in either party) that has beaten a man when running for office. I'm sure there are. I just can't think of any. Even in AZ, we have a woman governor who ran against another woman. But a Dem man defeated a Rep woman for Senate, even though the Rep women was a rabid Trumpie (and the convict took AZ). The margin was fairly tight (about 3%). I'm wondering if the Dems had run a woman for that position if the outcome would have been different. Fortunately, we have a sane senator in Gallego.

I've read that there is that bias of women not voting for women, though it never made sense to me. Seems US-specific since most other first world nations have had women presidents/prime-ministers.
