"Gosh" Where Can We Find Qualified Women?

Or maybe he meant "Golly Gee". Governor Romney, why were you amazed and confounded about
trying to find qualified women?
Perhaps The governor is still ten. That was back in 1957. Time moves FORWARD.
When you were governor of Massachusetts, weren't women on the civil service rolls? Women apply
for jobs all the time. Additionally-
Weren't you down the street from Harvard?
Aren't you around the corner from MIT?
Isn't Radcliffe right around the bend?
Boston U. is in your vicinity there in Massachusetts.
You know, there are many more stellar institutions in your state which house, educate, and engage women.
Are you able to see women?
They truly are everywhere.
I hope women will be able to vote their long term interests. A woman has to understand that she may
have daughters to vote for. If not, she may need to go out and vote for her granddaughters.
She may need to vote for the women who will need to work in child care centers, or as nannies for
the children who are in her family, or who someday will be.
Women should vote in order to get a job, but also to be able to afford to go to that job in case of
unplanned pregnancy, getting a living wage, and/or getting affordable child care.
Vote for adult autonomy, even if you yourself don't need the sort of autonomy many modern women will have to have in order to survive with dignity.
