On a Saturday morning in December, Kate Coyne-McCoy stood before 26 women in a small conference room in Manchester, N.H., explaining what fires her up in the morning.
"I wake up every day, the first thing I do is look at this list of members of Congress that I have, and I figure out who's sick and who's going to die," Coyne-McCoy told the women. "Because I want to replace them with you."
She wasn't trying to be macabre; she's a candidate trainer for Emily's List, a group that supports Democratic women who favor abortion rights, and she's passionate about filling seats with those women. Her style is more sermonizing pastor than civics teacher.
"I believe that the country's going to hell in a clutch purse and that you are the answer," she continued.
Coyne-McCoy has been training candidates since 2001, but she's a lot busier these days than she was just over a year ago. In 2016, prior to Election Day, just 1,000 women had reached out to Emily's List saying they were interested in running for office. Since Election Day, 25,000 women have reached out to the group. And this year, Emily's List has already trained 2,500 women.

I’m happy to see that Tommy Wiseau found another job.
Ladies, there are only three simple steps:
1) Become a talk show hostess who panders to the lowest common denominator.
2) Make mega-millions.
3) Give a little speech at a celebrity self-congratulatory love fest.
They’ll be clamoring for you to run for office!
President Trump will have to take the lead on this. Truth be known,the GOP would rather be the permanent minority. He will get no help from the GOPe in keeping the House and Senate. He will have to campaign every day in every winnable and toss-up district. The GOP will run a bunch of losers in every toss-up district to make it all but impossible to win these districts.
Bring it after all a woman is president right.
“Democratic Women Ask: How Do I Run For Office?”
You don’t.
Is this still all part of the Jill Stein Resistance?
Here’s how you DON’T get Elected as a Democrat woman;
Democrat bumped from governor’s race over bounced check
from above link;
Smith, who has never held elective office before, told the San Angelo Standard-Times that she doesn’t feel like she was given the opportunity to fix the problem. She told the newspaper she will fight the party and continue her run for governor.
She works for Emily's List. It goes with the territory. I wonder if she ever has daydreams about going back in time and knocking off current members of Congress while they were still in the womb.
