I hope all the women on the horizon do decide to run.

We need more than a single woman winning or almost winning. We need to see fields of candidates evenly distributed between the sexes, for the sake of models for our children. Likewise for people of color.

Do you agree? Any down sides to this? Do we want the field to be winnowed down early instead?
