If not Clinton, then which woman?

She noted that “only eight women currently serve as governors, the springboard to the White House for four of the past five presidents.” One of those female governors who is sometimes mentioned as a prospect is Kathleen Sebelius. But, Cocco pointed out, Sebelius “heads a state with six electoral votes and limited fundraising potential.”

Cocco wrote: “Clinton cleared the hurdles often cited as holding American women back, yet she is unlikely to surmount the final barrier. So you have to wonder. Is it something about Hillary, or something about us?”
