Nope, what happened was that when he took office in Massachusetts, a bipartisan group of MA women came to him with a binder of women qualified for appointments, because there weren't enough women in office.

It's worth pointing out that if as a governor!elect, he didn't know any women worthy of political appointments, that's pretty damning on the face of it. He shouldn't have needed to ask, if he even had (which he didn't).

I was really hoping that this would be the debate where a cartoon anvil would fall on Romney's head. I never get my cartoon anvils.

I totally trust you, but I also assume I'm in your good books.
