re: #409 Higgs Boson’s Mate

Ten Republican women who were prominent in 2008 and not named Sarah Palin:

Kelly Ayotte, U.S. senator from New Hampshire
Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Chair of the House Republican Congress
Condoleezza Rice Former U.S. secretary of state
Susan Collins, U.S. senator from Maine
Susana Martinez, Governor of New Mexico
Elaine L. Chao, Former secretary of labor
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Member, House of Representatives
Cleta Mitchell, Political-law attorney
Nikki R. Haley, Governor of South Carolina
Diane Black Member, House of Representatives

To be fair, some of those women weren’t nationally known in 2008 but I still agree with this- there were plenty of intelligent and capable enough Republican women that McCain could have chosen from in 2008.
