Wed, 8 Nov 2006 16:00:00 EST The Year of Women Leaders

Along with the Democratic sweep in Congress came historic firsts for Democratic women in party leadership positions. I interviewed Democratic pollster Celinda Lake today and asked her whether '06 would turn out to be the year of women leaders in American politics, as '92 was the "Year of the Woman." She responded: "I think '06 is the year of the Democratic woman and the year of women in leadership. You have the first woman speaker, which is very exciting. You have the first woman head of the National Governors Association, Governor [Janet] Napolitano from Arizona. You have women in other races taking leadership positions. You have the highest record number of women in the Senate. You have the first woman Supreme Court justice in Alabama elected–and the only Democrat, I might add. You have just recently in the last year the first African-American woman head of the Georgia Supreme Court, so it's really women in the pipeline for a long time emerging into leadership positions, and that's very exciting."
