While the GOP has been breaking their arms patting themselves on the back for putting a woman on the ticket and calling it some radical new idea, I got to thinking that it’s really not all that radical. (Especially when you consider the vitriol they have spewed toward Hilary Clinton for the past two decades)
The Democrats did it 24 years ago. 24 years!
The Libertarians did it in 1972 and Toni Nathan was the first women to ever receive an electoral vote.
Then I did some research
The 2008 Green Party has an ALL FEMALE ticket and have had at least one woman on the ticket since 96. The Libertarians did it again in 1992 and 96. Lyndon LaRouche did it, as did Pat Buchanan. All before the Republicans…seems like they are pretty late to the party. Here is a list:
Wikipedia has a list of over 100 women who have been a various parties Tickets going back to 1870
