Ha...gotcha with that one, did I? But it's true...women have an opportunity to take over the state this year. If all the women running for office get elected, North Carolina's gonna be a danged matriarchy:
Bev Perdue will be our first woman governor.
Janet Cowell will be our first woman State Treasurer.
Beth Wood will be our first woman State Auditor.
Kay Hagan is running in North Carolina's first two-woman race for a US Senate seat. (Can any political historians out there confirm this? It is so hard to prove a negative, sigh.)
[Updated based on posts below.]
Suzanne Reynolds will be the first NC Supreme Court Justice to be seated on a court with a majority of women justices.
We already have women serving as Secretary of State, Commissioner of Labor, and Superintendent of Public Instruction.
So what do you say, my NC sisters...
