CA: Amid national gains, women absent from top state posts

For the first time since 1967, when Ivy Baker Priest was elected treasurer and became the first woman to hold statewide office in California, no woman will hold a statewide constitutional post next year.

Much has been made of the Democratic sweep of the eight offices in November. But when state Controller Kathleen Connell and Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine Eastin leave office in January because of term limits, the absence of women in California's state government hierarchy will be glaring.

Democrat's don't really like powerful women.

Just another example of the elitist mentality of the fascist rats who control the Democratic Party in Kaliforniacator.

They have had the majority of votes in Kali since the days when the Clintoon was voted for in Kali in 1992.

Geez, they won't even allow their dead and illegal alien voters to vote for women in key posts in Kali government.

Usually the hidden message of these articles about not enough minorities and women. There is the a subtle message that we should just appoint women and minorities from the Dark Side to hold key political office. That way there is no messy voting of the publice and elections.
