How many women

[demokatgurrl]

are in the Senate now? I know we have a few more after the election. I guess I could sit down and count but maybe someone knows?

1. Time for one

in the whitehouse.

2. Well, there are now 100 at the federal and gubernatorial level

Of course, that includes the House. But that is a new milestone (still lagging far behind, but once you reach one milestone, you strive for the next).

Thanks, EMILY's List!

5. 13?

I'm counting 13. Boxer, Feinstein, Murray, Cantwell, Lincoln, Landrieu, Hutchinson, Clinton, Mikulski, Snowe, Collins, Dole, and now, McCaskill. Did I miss anybody?

8. And add Klobuchar to the newly minted Senators, for a total of 15

9. Oh that is awesome!!!

15 - the Fighting Fifteen!!

6. I believe there were 13 before this election...

no female senator lost her election. Add in Klobuchar and McCaskill, and you get 15.

I think 15. But don't quote me.
