Therefore, Arizona is still in the women's column. Since 1988, four women have served as governor of the Copper State.

One of the things I have noticed is that progressive women tend to see our numbers as not important. Perhaps an education on how gender parity is important for women and children is in order. I have noticed that the treatment of Governor Palin was similar to the treatment of Hillary Clinton in the 1990s. Women in politics strikes a raw nerve in people, it is actually fear. We have to dive into this phenomenon that occurs in liberals as well as conservatives. As long as children listen to the few women politicians we have trashed by adults we are inhibiting the future of women leaders. Gender parity starts with us and our psychology towards women politicians. This is hopeful. One of the things I have noticed is that progressive women tend to see our numbers as not important.
