Article here. Excerpt:

'WASHINGTON, D.C. — On the eve of the House Republican leadership elections, supporters of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers are attempting to shore up support for her bid for Republican conference chair by touting, among other qualities, her gender.

A Republican leadership aide said McMorris Rodgers has been reminding colleagues about "her achievements with women's outreach and new media, her conservative credentials, [and] her profile as a young woman" in a last-minute pitch before the leadership elections tomorrow.

McMorris Rodgers has received an unexpectedly vigorous and public challenge from Rep. Tom Price, even as some within the House Republican leadership have attempted to persuade Price to drop his bid.'

Works in the Dem party, why not the GOP? Nymphotropism knows no political parties.

BTW, for those interested, she won the chairmanpersonship vote.

All this gender bullshit is pissing me off. I don't know anything about this woman so I cannot judge her, but I just want the best person for the job, and I want the republicans to not say anything stupid about rape and conception.
