Did you know that our 20th Century's first nationally-known female
candidate for President of The United States was Gracie Allen?



Back in 1940, she said what might today justify the aspirations of
a certain similarly-qualified female Vice-Presidential candidate:

"All the other candidates are making speeches about how much they
have done for their country, which is ridiculous. I haven't done
anything yet, and I think it's just common sense to send me to
Washington and make me do my share."
