Maggie's List is likely one of the worst named political organizations out there

Named for Margaret Chase Smith (Republican representative for the U.S. House and Senate) Maggie's List is a United States federal political action committee founded in Florida in 2010 to "raise awareness and funds to increase the number of conservative women elected to federal public office."

Margaret Chase Smith supported much of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal legislation, she was the first member of Congress to condemn the anti-Communist witch hunts. She denounced "the reckless abandon in which unproved charges have been hurled from this side of the aisle."

They ought to change the name to someone that more befits their goals, like Sarah Palin, or Megyn Kelly. From what I can tell, the leadership of Maggie's List probably think Santa Claus is white
