  1. See I keep bugging my wife to run for office so I can retire. The thought of not only telling us what to do but the whole country just doesn’t appeal to her like I expected it to…

  2. I’m not a statistician, but isn’t it the first number that really matters? There’s all kinds of scenario that might increase the loss rate of women that don’t necessarily reflect a bias? For example, if you have like 2 or 3 three women going for the same seat then of course you have a dip in success of female candidates.

  3. Luckily the chart is in pink, and has a cartoon of a woman, otherwise I might not know which stereotypes to apply.
