“Washington State has a long history of empowering its female leaders."
Indeed. And my great-grandmother, Jeanette Testu (the one on the right, who isn't Jackie Kennedy http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/A…) is one of the empowered female leaders of Washington history and I'm very proud of her and what she accomplished for the working families of Washington State.
This can't be real. I am thinking 2 thinks (shout out to Dr. Seuss). 1. Either they have information that leads them to believe that Republican women are not the horribly feminist type, or 2. They are completely stupid. Either way, offended...

Chicks? Seriously? And the pink?
What a fucking dumbass. I'd be curious what his definition of empowerment is - allowing women out of the home to get groceries?
Westello, women were called chicks in the supposedly egalitarian 70s, when no one was getting married because it was too traditional and kids were being dressed in genderless clothes. Women have been called chicks since then. Things have not gotten that much better, especially in the Republican world.
@2 Thanks for sharing that. This state indeed has a wonderful tradition of women in leadership positions. It's one of the many reasons that makes this a great place to live.
Anyone else have stories of Washington "chicks" who lead, rather than follow geeks like McKenna?
on second thought, Robbie-poo probably doesn't even want to get the attention of the kind of woman who'd be turned off by pink. so, it works for him.
no offense to pink-lovers out there.
Kathleen is the only democratic woman running for any of WA's 9 state executive offices this year.
In 1992, Kathleen was the youngest woman (32 years old) to be elected WA State Senator. She beat Dino Rossi. She's also the only democrat to ever win in the 5th LD... Hopefully that will change this year!
Oh, oh! Just remember the last time we fell for a "pink slogan" that proved to be working against women and for the repub/tparty that has spent more time legislating women's sexuality than any other issue. Didn't the tea party campaign on JOBS? And they've done nothing on that issue but throw poison pills at any bill that would open employment. Same here, with this pink gimmick. The repub/tparty has already shown their disdain for women, legislating horrendously against women's privates. How dare they. The women who fought for our voting rights are turning in their graves that we're letting the repub/tparty throw these laws in our way. It's not an issue of abortion, pro or con, it's an issue of CHOICE. Note that they don't call it as it is but use 'abortion' as their path to getting us in a dither. The issue is CHOICE, nothing else but CHOICE. If they get in, how many of us will suffer at their hands.

No goddamn way she'd wear that pin.
I can't believe someone would propose a campaign bottom like that in 2012.
Truly bizarre.

Stupid iPhone autocorrect.
