Arizona: A woman scorned


Arizona politics, Arizona political cartoons, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Janet Napolitano

(Also, Bill Clinton appointed Napolitano as a U.S. Attorney for Arizona in the 90s, you might think she owes it to the power couple.) But the results of the Iowa caucus, where Obama pulled in more female voters than Clinton, illustrated that for many women gender isn’t everything.
