#2 Nice closer, Phil, heh. Julia is the one that lex said was a vicious (?) crook in her days as a stock trader, IIRC.

#4 Someone once said 'Politics is the art of the possible.' I'd take someone who has succeded in the current system and clearly knows how it works over some idealist any day of the week. She is saying the right things, Lets wait and see if she does them.

#5 If you haven't, check out the Portraits pages. With her brown hair down (2000-2001) and good eye makeup, she'd be a ringer for Jacklyn Smith, heh.

#9 Well, he did say "who post here" and there aren't that many wymyn posters who've made it known they be wymyns. I would certainly initially assume all of the posting femalians in RB are straight. Am I wrong? Lol! Wait! Don't answer that! Lol! I don't wanna know!

#11 Gentlemen: I challenge you to try to get through postings concerning women in leadership without either making cracks about their appearance or salivating. The real issue here is whether the Orange Lady is capable and trustworthy.

#14 Mom - we've already conceded she's capable - get past your hesitance on her other good qualities

#15 Wait! Um, RC - I dunno, you need to clarify - else I'm going back to Emma Peel in sleek black leather - with strategically placed - oh, um, nevermind.
