1959, Gandy was the first woman to be appointed Mississippi’s Assistant Attorney General, and in the same year, she was elected Treasurer for the State of Mississippi, the first woman to be elected to a statewide constitutional office.

I knew she has been around for along time. Met her once, briefly. Nice lady.
What I meant was it about 40 years ago when
I first I heard her name and started pay attention.
Hey, hill, the reason you're in sad shape is no one, NO ONE wants to look up and see you standing atop the glass ceiling. Eeeeeegads, I don't even want to think about the sight.
Agree completely. I know she has had to lower her expectations in Iowa but she has to be really stupid to think that insulting Iowa voters will get her more votes. I’ve got to believe that Iowans are smarter than that!
It is clearly obvious that Mississippi women are different than Ms Rodham-Clinton.
Can I have an Amen?
That sexism door swings both ways. What a witch.
Well, THAT will certainly endear her to the good folks in Mississippi.
OT, but I’ve been wondering about her polling numbers.
There was recently a straw poll in Sunriver, OR.
Obama won, followed closely by Edwards.
Clinton was a distant third.
If she’s so behind among the base in Oregon, how the heck can she be so far ahead nationally?
I know...it’s probably a stupid question. ;o)
I don’t recall a woman ever running in a primary for governor or congress. Let’s leave it that way. Many of the men are bad enough.
Amen. I also noticed she didn't include Arkansas - where sexism may include rape...
How many times are we going to have to hear that statement repeated on FR? Getting a little sick of it myself. I suppose you’re for Rooty or The Massachusetts flip-flopper?
We didn’t call it the Catt House in Ames for nothing.

Rest assured that I have the least bit of interest in teaching the GOP a lesson like many of the conservatives who refused to vote in the last election. If the GOP surrenders it's morals by selecting a social liberal as their candidate, they are no longer the Party of Lincoln but simply a party of greedy jerks looking for a name and a home.
We are still very much a patriarchal society that protects our women but I doubt that Hillary as President will be forgiven every one of her mistakes. We probably shall see.
Good one, hill! Insult a whole state as “sexist”! I hope this bites her fat ass.
I am in Mississippi this very second, on business, and the MS women are a hoot! I have been laughing all day!
As a matter of fact, no. But you already knew that.

Go ahead and be sick of it. You're going to keep hearing it from me as long as there are pig-headed statements about not voting.
You have every right to cut off your own nose to spite your face. But when you start cutting off my nose, I've got a right to complain.
Live with it.
It depends where you are. I worked for a man in Texas and he claimed that he could go to Walmart in Natchez and see more beautiful women than he could in Houston. Of course mileage can differ.
