...basic barrier to women's political success is outright sexism?a feeling, among women as well as men, that a woman's place is in the home, not the House. Kansas Democratic Congresswoman Martha Keys, who is married to Indiana Congressman Andrew Jacobs, has an opponent who used the slogan A MAN TO RELY ON. When Connecticut Governor Ella Grasso ran four years ago, she was confronted by her opponent's slogan CONNECTICUT CAN'T AFFORD A WOMAN GOVERNOR.

Eventually, Government would get so big that it would become oppressive...
...House. While Flowers campaigned as an insider who knew his way around the nation's capital, Heflin berated him for being "part of the Washington crowd that has brought more inflation and higher taxes." Heflin, on the other hand, owed a debt to another Washingtonian. His campaign slogan was the same as Nixon's in 1972: "Now More Than Ever." In Alabama politics, anything goes...
