Good year for women in Congress
A record number of women will be serving in both houses of Congress come January. In the House, there will be at least 70 women, up from the current 61. Two races yet to be determined also could go to women, raising the total next year to 72. Unfortunately, none of the women will be representing New Jersey, whose 13-member delegation is all male.
In the U.S. Senate, there will be 16 women in 2007, up from 13 today.
Women tend to fare well when the Democrats do well. Eight of the 10 newly elected congresswomen and both of the newly elected senators are Democrats.
Not counting the races still to be determined, Democratic women will outnumber Republican women in Congress 58-19 next year.

Nice post, Mr. Bergmann. Just out of curiosity, and with respect to the senior editors and upper management of, say, The Asbury Park Press, would you say that blacks and Hispanics make up at least 20% of those positions? If not, why not?
The word for today is hypocrite. Can you say hypocrite, boys and girls?
