Washington State's Top Three Politicians are Women

State's Top Power Trio Sets Mark for Women: They May Be Vanguard of New Era in U.S. Politics

"The rise of Gov. Christine Gregoire and U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell has broken another lock on a political system that remains disproportionately controlled by men.

This year marked the first time in American history that women occupied the three most powerful elected offices of a single state, both U.S. Senate seats and the governor's office." -Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Yet another reason why I love my state.
