Congratulations to Nancy Pelosi for becoming (soon) the first female Speaker of the House. I heard one analyst say - but haven't confirmed - that after this election there will be 70+ women elected to Congress. Similarly, congrats to Patrick Deval who became the first African American governor in Massachusetts - amazingly, he is only the second African American governor in the country since Reconstruction. The diversification of our leadership is a good sign that long standing preconceptions about the abilities of women and people of color to lead are being discarded by voters in more and more states.
