...result: the list of women who might conceivably appear on a Democratic ticket this year is quite limited. Herewith, the women other than Geraldine Ferraro and Dianne Feinstein most often mentioned as Democratic Veep possibilities: >Patricia Schroeder, 43. A Harvard-trained lawyer and a Congresswoman since 1973, the Coloradan is a leading member of the House Armed Services Committee. While getting high marks for her military expertise, Schroeder is often seen as a knee-jerk dove. She co-chairs the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues, which counts 117 men among its 132 members. An outspoken feminist, Schroeder...

Appearances do not favor Mondale. A buttoned-up Norwegian who drinks diluted Scotch, and only sparingly at that, he is no cowboy. Lanky Coloradan Hart comes a lot closer, at least to the urban variety. He wears cowhide boots and an oversize brass belt buckle, and is the only Democrat who can wear a ten-gallon hat and look as if he means it. Nor does the territory offer fertile turf for the former Vice President. Texas is a right-to-work state where unions are about as popular as taxes and Big Government is loved even less than...
