Do folks at Duke read the papers?

Duke University is one of 20 universities holding an “Elect Her — Campus Women Win” event, the goal of which is to help women get elected.

Maybe they don’t read the papers, or maybe this is just a problem on the left. Because on the right, the field of powerful elected women is huge and influential.

Need I mention Sarah Palin? Or Michele Bachmann? Or Jan Brewer? Or Kristi Noem? Or Susana Martinez? The problem is, you see, these women are all associated with Tea Party activism, and that just doesn’t count with the left.

So while lefty women gather at Duke for “training,” conservative women are out there winning elections. I’ll take that any day.
