You know they'd compare the two if it happened. Linky.
Pacific NW roots? Check.
Female Politician? Check.
Mother? Check.
Downs syndrome child? You betcha.
I know nothing about Mrs. Rodgers (what's in a name anyway?) other than what I just read in that article. I'm assuming there's a more stringent vetting process this time around. I'm suppose I'm a little surprised to see them considering a candidate that similar at first glance. She'd have to contrast herself pretty heavily with her predecessor I'd imagine. Just the press talking it up though? I'm not really up to speed on who the campaign is actually considering these days.
